During GEO Week 2021, the Group on Earth Observations will present the multidisciplinary activities of the GEO Work Programme that address policy agendas involved in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP26, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) COP15, the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration.

The online event will include the GEO-17 plenary, plus anchor and side events. Time will be scheduled each day for virtual networking. On Monday, November 22, the 56th Executive Committee will be held as a closed meeting.

Of particular importance will be the anchor events: These are the main events designed by GEO week 2021 organisers to explain the multidisciplinary nature of GEO through the concept of nexus thinking. Working on multiple topics simultaneously is essential in today’s rapidly changing environmental and social conditions. For example, work in one area will have a knock-on effect or impact in another area, such as the water, energy and food nexus. These events are linked to the global policy agendas that underpin most of GEO’s work.

Building and Sustaining your Data Foundations 

Strong data foundations are an essential requirement for the effective management of asset information and decision-making. Data needs to be accessible to organisations and their supply chain, to enable them to understand what information they have and need, what data can be upcycled sustainably, where data is located and who has access to it. To create good foundations that allow organisations to have confidence in their data, the quality, management and maintenance of that data is critical. Join us to find out more! 

We look forward to welcoming you,
The 1Spatial Team
