The document discusses the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), an intergovernmental body that promotes open Earth observation data. It notes that GEO has over 100 participating national governments and organizations. It highlights how GEO's open data policy increased available Earth observation data scenes from 53 per day to over 5,700 per day, providing an estimated $2.1 billion in annual economic benefits globally. GEO works to support issues like disaster resilience, climate change, and sustainable development through its initiatives and use of Earth observation data. The document outlines GEO's activities, partnerships, and upcoming projects and events to further its mission.

Editor's Notes
- GEO Flagships develop and implement pilot or pre-operational services according to GEO priorities. They allow Members and Participating Organizations to spin-up an operational service serving common needs. GEO Flagships may operate for as long as they are able to generate sufficient impact to attract support for their activities. Once they reach a mature, operational stage, they may be taken up by user institutions (e.g. GEO Participating Organizations), for their continued operation over the long term.
- GEO BON is focused on developing a network of observation systems that delivers enhanced and harmonised biodiversity information to facilitate better decision making from local to global scales. The GEO BON observation network is developed through the adoption and implementation of the Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and related monitoring guidelines, through targeted capacity building efforts at the national and regional level, including the development of the “BON in a Box” toolkit, and the engagement of National, Regional and Thematic Biodiversity Observation Networks (BONs). National governments are GEO BON’s key users . Governments need scientifically sound biodiversity data, information and knowledge to meet their national mandates (e.g. national biodiversity plans, recovering species at risk, sustaining ecosystem services) and fulfill their international obligations (e.g. the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the Convention on Migratory Species, etc.). GEO BON actively engages with governments to help develop national biodiversity monitoring schemes.
- GEOGLAM, the GEO Global Agricultural Monitoring initiative, was initially launched by the Group of Twenty (G20) Agriculture Ministers in June 2011, in Paris. The initiative forms part of the G20 Action Plan on Food Price Volatility, which also includes the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS, http://www.amis-outlook.org), another inter-institutional initiative with a Secretariat hosted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The G20 Ministerial Declaration states that GEOGLAM “will strengthen global agricultural monitoring by improving the use of remote sensing tools for crop production projections and weather forecasting”. The main objective of GEOGLAM is to reinforce the international community’s capacity to produce and disseminate relevant, timely and accurate projections of agricultural production at national, regional and global scales by using Earth Observation data.
- The fundamental objective of GFOI is assist REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks) developing countries to develop sovereign technical, human and institutional capacity to monitor their own forests and account for their own GHG emissions. The intention is that countries will then use this capacity to generate their own robust information to inform more reliable decision making and policy development on the appropriate management of their forests and potentially provide confidence for REDD+ activities.
- The proposed Flagship on a Global Observation System for Mercury (GOS4M) aims to: i) increase the availability and quality of Earth Observation data and information to contribute to the tracking of mercury released to the global environment and, where appropriate, anticipate changes to the environment; ii) harmonize metadata production, archiving and sharing data from the mercury network; and iii) develop advanced services in support of policy mandate through the Minamata Convention. The way to attain the above objectives is by i) facilitating cooperation of governments and institutions tracking chemical pollutants; ii) fostering the adoption of advanced sensors in monitoring mercury and its compounds; iii) better preparing, archiving and sharing metadata; iv) creating advanced web services for using and discovery information from metadata and data; and v) creating ad-hoc web services for policy makers.
