The Symposium in 2008 will be the third and concluding symposium of the present series dedicated to atmosphere-related issues and aiming to promote the use of demonstrated capabilities of space technologies and their applications to support actions called for in the Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). It will also provide for a transition to issues related to the monitoring of land cover, focussing on the particular interactions between landcover and the atmosphere including issues such as agriculture, rural development, land, drought and desertification, which have been identified as issues under consideration in the thematic cluster of the Commission on Sustainable Development for the two-year cycle 2008/2009. Participants will review the outcome and recommendations of the previous symposia in the series in light of recent developments, report on ongoing follow-up activities as well as consider additional activities. It is also anticipated that the Symposium will provide input for selecting the theme and content for the forthcoming series of symposia.
