SAFERS participation at the GEO Week 2021

This year is one of the most important with major milestones linked to global policy agendas. There is the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, there is also the 15^th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. These all bring a new set of challenges and opportunities for the international EO community.

During GEO Week 2021, which took place virtually on the 23rd to 26th November, many activities of the GEO work programme that address these areas were covered. Notably through the lens of nexus thinking to highlight how the use of EO in different sectors contributes to these efforts and why integration across thematic areas is essential. 

SAFERS project participated at this event and it was presented by the project coordinator Claudio ROSSI. You may check the recorded sessions on the following website: https://www.airmeet.com/e/f2c5d960-3c9c-11ec-885b-4fe9848f84aa?preview=true
