The GEO Vision
In, On and Around the Earth
Societal Benefit Areas
Mexico City November 2015
Adoption of a ten year Strategic Plan (2016-2025)
“GEO will supply the requisite Earth observations in support of effective policy responses for climate change adaptation,
mitigation and other impacts across the SBAs.”
“Affirm that GEO and its Earth observations and information will
support the implementation of, inter alia:
The 2030 Global Goals for Sustainable Development;
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030;
The United Nations System of Environmental and Economic
Accounts; and
The United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change.”
Ministerial Declaration
The SBSTA (UNFCCC) recognises the importance of:
• GEO, including its implementation plan for GEOSS;
• collaboration between GEO and GCOS; and of
• capacity building on systematic observation, inter alia, to
enable developing countries to apply climate observations
for impact assessment and preparation for adaptation.”

Climate Monitoring from Space
Ongoing challenges
• Access to climate data Broad, open data policies are needed for global monitoring and transparency
• Interoperability Data discoverability and access through federated systems
• Downstream services Applications and information are needed to make data useful for decision-makers
