Historically SPARC concentrated on the role of the stratosphere in climate, but now includes foci throughout the atmosphere in recognition of the latest research, which clearly calls for a "whole atmosphere" approach.

The new SPARC implementation plan 2016-2020 is organised around three refined scientific themes and a number of current and future activities of which many reflect the more regional focus and interdisciplinary nature of SPARC research.
