Concerns and challenges
What's measured and what's not
MDG and beyond
GEO/GEOSS and GFCS
Using CC info in health
Role of NSOs

Diarrhoea: a leading cause of death Diarrhoea: a leading cause of death
Nearly 800 million without potable water, billions without safe water
2.5 without proper sanitation, 1.1 billion defecate in open
Worse under climate change scenarios, but how much?

MDG 7 Target 7c:
Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation
Indicator to monitor (proxy for access to safe drinking-water):
Proportion of the population that uses an improved drinking-water source (urban + rural)
MDG target + IndicatorsMDG target + Indicators
Is MSG under threat due to climate change…by how much?

Water-Health sector: Climate knowledge gapWater-Health sector:
Climate knowledge gap How much climate change affects MDG/access?
How much climate variability affects access?
How climate change/variability affect water quality/quantity? – Weak monitoring of water quality and related health outcomes
Can we handle/mitigate climate impacts?
What's the public health fallout of climate change?
Many initiatives are on, but fragmentation andknowledge gap makes effective policy formulation difficult

Combining Earth Observations dataCombining Earth Observations data
Water accessibility: (combination of layers ‘a’ and ‘d’) Access measured in amount of energy per capita (calories) needed to collect water, highlighting access limitations due to terrain. Also shows populations living on marginal land without water access.
Water resources per person: (combination of layers ‘b’ and ‘d’) Determines whether underlying water resources (aquifer yield) can meet demand of overlying population based on 50 liters per person per day .
Areas with improved water access: (combination of layers ‘c’ and ‘d’) Displays 1-km LandScan areas that have achieved water access per guidelines, i.e. at least one access point per 1-sq.km
(a) Digital Elevation Model (DEM): Worldwide coverage from NASA’s ASTER mission with 30-meter resolution.
(b) Water Resource Map: Aquifer yield data from multiple sources.
(c) Improved water source location: Location of wells continually updated with new water projects via interactive Web 2.0 application.
(d) LandScan Population Database: commercially available 1-kilometer population database updated yearly (http://www.ornl.gov/sci/landscan/landscan_data_avail.shtml).

Role of NSOs in health etc.Role of NSOs in health etc.
Sources of data– Satellite, in-situ, other data: role of NSOs?– Interoperability and dynamic linking?
• Global Information Management System on Environment and Health (GIMS)
Use and sharing of data– Collaboration and buy-in by the governments
Role of NSOs in CC info for health: – Population statistics: but not sufficient – Overlaying for socio-economic impact: do NSOs have data of
right resolution?
