Project description
Empowering communities with Earth intelligence
Global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss and natural disasters are impacting communities everywhere. Better tools and data are necessary to tackle these issues and make informed decisions at a local level. There is a growing need to ensure that all communities, regardless of their capacity, can benefit from Earth observation data. The EU-funded 2RomeGEO2025 project will bring together in Rome, at the GEO Global Forum, from 5-9 May 2025, global leaders, scientists, governments representatives, international organisations and private companies to discuss and take action on how to make Earth intelligence accessible to all. The project focuses on sharing data, tools and knowledge to help communities tackle global threats in a more equitable and cost-effective way.
Objective
The GEO post-2025 Strategy endorsed by Ministers at the GEO Ministerial Summit held in Cape Town in November 2023 has clarified the GEO post-2025 goals and objectives. To empower users in making sound environmental decisions, enable economic opportunities and promote good governance, the Strategy intends to follow up on its commitment to promote data and knowledge sharing and the co-development of services; as new purpose for the coming years GEO will have to make a step forward in the EO value chain (the last mile) by providing what has been defined Earth Intelligence for All (users).
The event will be a great opportunity for promoting an open debate between high-level Countries Representatives and other high-level Representatives from UN bodies, science, NGOs, Youths organizations on how Earth Intelligence should be laid down at local scale to implement cost-effective strategies to mitigate the effects of major global threats (climate change, biodiversity loss, natural disasters, urban areas).
Earth Intelligence for All (users) includes the concept of making resources (data, tools, knowledge) and opportunities (financial) available to different communities (scaling down, scaling up) with varying needs and capacity: in one sentence, Global Equity in benefitting from progress produced by the use of Earth observations data, technologies, tools and knowledge which represent the essence of Earth Intelligence for All). Additionally, a specific attention will be devoted to the involvement of youth in GEO Work Plans activities.
Towards GEO 2025@Rome will be hosted in Rome and organized by Agenzia Spaziale Italiana in a way to maximise the involvement of stakeholders at national and international level and to increase the engagement of users and capacity building.
