Themes introduction
The overall goal of IGOS is to produce comprehensive global, regional and national data and information to satisfy the environmental information needs of policy-makers, and so support scientific and operational environmental programmes.
It is not practical to attempt to define a comprehensive global system that would in a single step satisfy all the needs for environmental information. IGOS has therefore adopted a process of themes in which observations are made for selected fields of common interest among a group of partners.
