1. To develop a research framework for integration of the biogeochemical, biophysical and human components of the global carbon cycle The GCP Mandate 6. To develop a small number of new research initiatives that are feasible within a 3-5 year time framework on difficult and highly interdisciplinary problems of the carbon cycle 5. To strengthen the carbon-related research programs of nations and regions, and those in international programs such as IGBP, IHDP, WCRP, and the observation community, through better coordination, articulation of goals, and development of conceptual frameworks 4. To provide a global coordinating platform for regional and national carbon programs to improve observation network design, data standards, information and tools transfer, and timing of campaigns and process-based experiments, including the development of data-model fusion schemes, and design of cost effective observational and research networks 3. To develop tools and conceptual frameworks to couple the biophysical and human dimensions of the carbon cycle 2 . To synthesize current understanding of the global C cycle and provide rapid feedback to the research and policy communities and general public
