Earth Intelligence Empowers the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development serves as a universal action plan guiding countries and stakeholders toward fostering well-being for people, planet, and prosperity. At its core are the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), supported by corresponding Targets and a comprehensive Indicator Framework. These components collectively offer a measurable pathway for tracking progress in economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
Earth observations drive SDG progress
Earth observations and geospatial data are invaluable in monitoring and advancing the SDGs. These data sets enable informed decision-making, helping nations and stakeholders adapt plans and assess impacts in real-time.
Data sources for tracking progress
The Global Indicator Framework serves as a comprehensive set of benchmarks designed to capture the interconnected and complex nature of sustainable development. Effective tracking of these goals relies on more than just traditional data like national accounts and surveys. It incorporates newer, innovative data streams such as Earth observations, geospatial information, citizen science, and Big Data analytics.
Collabrative partnerships for sustainability
GEO partners with organizations like the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) to highlight Earth observation applications in sectors such as health, diaster risk reduction, and environmental protection.
By uniting collective efforts, leveraging innovative data, and fostering inclusive partnerships, GEO is committed to empowering the global community to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
