In regard to CDC policy announcements, proper mask wearing decreased from 13.4% (initial policy) to 6.3% (4/27/21 policy) to 4.2% (5/13/21 policy). RESULTS: Out of the total observations (n=711 individuals), 11.4% wore a mask properly and 29.5% maintained a physical distance of ≥6 ft from other individuals. California announced statewide guidelines on May 3. The CDC announced mask and distancing guidelines on April 27 and May 13. Data collection took place twice per week for 13 weeks between March 2021 to June 2021 at a public park located in a Southern California (CA) desert city. METHODS: We used a modified version of the Systematic Observation of Mask Adherence and Distancing (SOMAD) tool to record mask wearing and physical distancing behavior of individuals at a public outdoor recreational area. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to observe mask and distancing behaviors of individuals performing PA at a public outdoor recreational setting. Public outdoor recreation spaces are potentially valuable resources to address these challenges, however there is limited knowledge of mask and distancing behaviors in outdoor recreational areas. At the same time, changes in policies on mask wearing and physical distancing may have increased confusion about engaging in PA. Aragao (INPE).During the COVID-19 pandemic, regular physical activity (PA) remained an important recommendation to prevent hypokinetic diseases. The report also highlights several capacity building initiatives spanning adaptation and mitigation, including forecasting, climate risk, early warnings and advisories. collaborate with global technology providers to enhance access to state-of-the-art cloud services including cloud computing, and building capacity to implement and use Earth observation data systems and applications to enhance adaptive capacity and support sustainable development in the developing world.have a major role in improving developing countries' access to climate finance.help to predict and adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and enhance resilience and sustainable development capacity, when used in combination with modelling.can be used to develop and validate of bottom-up national GHG inventories and removals by agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU).create budgets of net emissions and removals on local, national and global scales.from space use greenhouse gas measurement and emerging analysis methods to.contribute to m onitoring and verification support for GHGs.support Parties in developing NDCs and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).The report identifies how systematic observations: The side event ( available for viewing on youtube) highlighted current capabilities and near-term plans for space-based and in-situ data products and services that represent the best available science to support the Paris Agreement goals. The stocktaking process will inform nation states how they need to update, and potentially ramp up, planned climate actions or nationally determined contributions (NDCs), to deliver on their Paris Agreement commitments. Central to assessing this progress is the global stocktake - a mechanism that assesses collective progress towards lower greenhouse gas emissions and moves to adapt to the negative impacts of environmental change. The Bonn conference lays the groundwork for COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where nations will be expected to show how they will begin putting the Paris Agreement into practice. That was a key message at a side event during the UNFCCC Bonn Climate Conference, where representatives of the systematic observation community convened earlier this month to present highlights from a new report, entitled, ‘ The Role of Systematic Earth Observations in the Global Stocktake’. Earth observations have significant potential to contribute to the Global Stocktake and support national actions to deliver the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement – the international treaty that aims to limit global warming.
