    The observations, data and information that GTOS assists in providing to stakeholders, including the terrestrial Essential Climate Variables, continue to be required to assess the causes of climate change; to analyse the potential impacts; evaluate the adaptation options, and to enable the characterization of extreme events such as floods, droughts and heat waves.

    We have now one billion hungry people in the world: one in every six human beings. We will go from the present population of 6.7 billion to 9.1 billion by 2050. This will require an increase of food production of 70% at world level and 100% in developing countries. We need to spend 17% of ODA (44 billion US dollars) a year to change this situation, with investment in smallholder agriculture of least developing countries. This should be possible in a world where we spend 1340 billion US dollars a year for armaments.
