GEO-GNOME: Call to register and nominate to working groups

Dear Mountain Partnership Members,

This message is to inform you that the deadline for registration renewal for the Group on Earth Observations - Global Network on Observations and Information in Mountain Environments (GEO-GNOME)<https://www.mountainresearchinitiative.org/activities/projects/geo-gnome> is coming up at the end of this month.

The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) <http://www.earthobservations.org/index.php> is in a critical time in the coordination of and progress with Flagships and Initiatives in the current Work Programme and looks forward to ensuring that the mountain community is represented via the activities of GEO-GNOME. GEO-GNOME is the only network and Initiative under the GEO Work Programme that is dedicated to mountains and advocacy for data and information to support monitoring that is relevant for key policy processes such as the Paris Agreement, the SDGs and the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction.

Established in 2016, GEO-GNOME is a GEO Work Programme Initiative, jointly co-led by the Institute for Atmospheric Sciences and Climate of the National Research Council of Italy (ISAC-CNR<http://www.isac.cnr.it/>) and the Mountain Research Initiative (MRI<https://www.mountainresearchinitiative.org/>).

In line with GEO's objectives, GEO-GNOME aims at connecting and facilitating access to diverse sources of mountain observation data and information regarding drivers, conditions and trends in biophysical and socio-economic processes of change at different scales. GEO-GNOME works to support GEO in its three global priority engagement areas: the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. It identifies and connects with relevant data and information to inform monitoring and reporting in these priority engagement areas, as well as connect with key stakeholders from scientific research, policy, practice and society working on these priority areas in mountain contexts worldwide.

As outlined in the GEO-GNOME Implementation Plan 2020-2022, GEO-GNOME seeks to update its internal registry of members and contributors for coordination purposes and for communicating and planning future activities. Please take a moment to enlist (or renew) your participation in GEO-GNOME, via this form<https://form.jotform.com/200895179329365>. GEO-GNOME is particularly keen to hear from MP members (countries) who may also be GEO member countries (see here<https://www.earthobservations.org/members.php>), given that future coordination and communication of activities will be important to do in consultation with GEO member countries. If unsure whether you are already listed in the registry, or for any questions, please reach out to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Furthermore, four new Working Groups<http://www.earthobservations.org/geo_blog_obs.php?id=417> have been established as part of the GEO Work Programme, focusing on key issues related to capacity development, climate change, disaster risk reduction and data. Individuals with relevant expertise and interest in these four topics are invited to consider nominating via MRI and GEO-GNOME to participate in these Working Groups, and support their work in bringing a 'mountains' lens and perspective in the activities of these Working Groups. As a Participating Organization of GEO and co-lead for GEO-GNOME, MRI is eligible to consider and nominate interested individuals from research and practice with relevant expertise and help contribute to GEO and GEO-GNOME through these Working Groups. Please register your expression of interest via this form<https://form.jotform.com/200895179329365> by Friday 24 April 2020.
