  1. Can Satellite Observations Help to SolveInternational Environmental Problems? Oran R. Young PEOIC Conference Tokyo, Japan 9 November 2015

  2. Two themes • To provide an analytic framework for thinking about roles for satellite observations in addressing largescale environmental problems • To initiate a discussion of criteria for evaluating the usefulness of satellite observations in this context

  3. Roles for satellite observations in addressing problems of international governance • By medium: (i) atmospheric, (ii) marine, (iii) terrestrial • By function: (i) problem identification, (ii) monitoring, reporting, and verification, (iii) compliance/enforcement, (iv) assessment of effectiveness
