It reviews activities of federated data centres and confirms that their data underpin United Nations, regional and national programmes. The session focused on support to the Global Climate Observing System implementation plan, the World Meteorological Organization Commission for Hydrology, the GEO Water Strategy, data quality and access, and integration of satellite and in situ observations.
