OCEANS GAINING ATTENTION IN WASHINGTON POLITICS
From OceanSpace No., 491
Washington, D.C., USA -- Two weeks ago, U.S. President George W. Bush and
the other G-8 leaders agreed on an action plan designed to care for the
environment while growing the nations' economies. The White House reported
that the plan "builds on U.S. initiatives to develop transformational
technologies in three areas: energy, agriculture, and global observation."
The administration said the "challenge of promoting economic growth while
securing a better quality of life for people around the world calls for the
development and deployment of cleaner and more cost-effective technologies."
The G-8 partners agreed to "Cooperative Action on Science and Technology for
Sustainable Development."
The words that elicited a gasp of surprise from Washington ocean community
insiders were that the administration will "build a better integrated global
observation system over 10 years, to be kicked off at the Earth Observation
Summit in Washington, D.C., on July 31, 2003." One informed source told
Oceansp@ce, "for the first time in a long while, the oceans issues are
finally reaching presidential-level attention again."
The United States will host the summit to bring together government
ministers of the G-8 and other interested nations as well as established
international organizations including the World Meteorological Organization
"to provide a chance to explore and discuss what is needed to commit on the
political level to building a comprehensive, integrated, and sustained
observing system for the earth. In addition to the ministerial level
meeting, sources say, the plan is to establish an international working
group that will meet the next day. This group is expected to begin
development of an international 10-year plan for fielding such a system of
systems. "The United States believes that the combined global observations
of terrestrial, ocean, and atmospheric phenomena around the world will move
us closer to providing 'Sound Science for Sound Decisions' to our national
and international decision-makers," said VAdm. Conrad Lautenbacher Jr.,
under secretary of commerce for oceans & atmosphere.
