1 PROGRAM ON GOVERNANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Bren School of Environmental Science & Management University of California at Santa Barbara http://www.gsdprogram.org Oran R. Young PEOIC Conference Tokyo, Japan 9 November 2015 Can Satellite Observations Help to Solve International Environmental Problems?

2 P ROGRAM ON G OVERNANCE FOR S USTAINABLE D EVELOPMENT Bren School, UCSB http://www.gsdprogram.org Two themes 1.To provide an analytic framework for thinking about roles for satellite observations in addressing largescale environmental problems 2.To initiate a discussion of criteria for evaluating the usefulness of satellite observations in this context

3 P ROGRAM ON G OVERNANCE FOR S USTAINABLE D EVELOPMENT Bren School, UCSB http://www.gsdprogram.org Roles for satellite observations in addressing problems of international governance By medium: (i) atmospheric, (ii) marine, (iii) terrestrial By function: (i) problem identification, (ii) monitoring, reporting, and verification, (iii) compliance/enforcement, (iv) assessment of effectiveness
