Bridging the Standardization Gap (BSG) BSG is one of the three strategic goals of ITU-T The gap is defined as the disparities in the ability of developing countries, relative to developed ones, to access, implement, contribute to and influence international ICT standards, specifically ITU‐T Recommendations.
Bridging the standardization gap: PP Res 123, WTSA Res 44 and WTDC Res 47

ITU/WMO/UNESCO IOC Joint Task Force (JTF) on the use of submarine cable systems for climate change monitoring and disaster (tsunami) warning
Maputo, Mozambique, 14-16 April 2014
International Telecommunication Union 54
The Initiative
The deep ocean is largely unknown….
How could submarine cables be used as a real-
time global network to monitor climate change and to provide tsunami warnings? A new generation of regional scientific cabled ocean observatories is emerging at a few selected sites, but there is a need and opportunity to extend observations and monitoring over much wider area of the global oceans. Submarine telecommunication cables equipped with sensors to measure key variables such as water temperature, pressure and acceleration on the ocean floor are viewed as vital to monitor climate change and to provide tsunami warnings. Maputo, Mozambique, 14-16 April 2014
55
The Initiative “Using submarine telecommunications cables for ocean and climate monitoring and disaster warning” ITU (International Telecommunication Union) with UNESCO’s (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s) IOC (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission), and the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) Established a task force Maputo, Mozambique, 14-16 April 2014
56
ITU/WMO/UNESCO-IOC Joint Task Force
Agreed on its Terms of Reference and was tasked, inter alia: with developing a strategy and roadmap that could lead to enabling the availability of submarine repeaters equipped with scientific sensors for climate monitoring and disaster risk reduction for tsunamis, and to analyse the potential renovation and use of out-of-service cables for this purpose. It is composed of more than 70 international experts from the science, engineering, business and law communities. Chair: Chris Barnes, Professor Emeritus, University of Victoria (Canada) Vice-Chair: David Meldrum, Research Fellow, Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) and JCOMM Observations Programme Area (UNESCO-IOC)
