  6. 1. JAXA EO program Earth Observation 10-Year Implementation Plan • Identification of key observation areas and objective (9 benefits such as reducing loss of life and property from natural and human induced disasters, understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating, and adapting to climate variability and change and so on). • Overcome shortcomings of current observation systems (strengthen involvement of the developing countries, improve Earth observation technology, strengthen observation systems). • Give guidance for establishing new Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) by strengthen existing observation systems, establishing successor international mechanism. The Earth Observation Summit adopted the 10- year implementation plan on February 16,2005
