GEO is supporting the international coordination and implementation of the contribution of Earth Observations for Sustainable Development, climate change mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk reduction and urban resilience as well as other multilateral environmental frameworks such as biodiversity conservation and mercury control. Earth observations, geospatial data (including in situ and citizen science data), and derived information play insightful roles in monitoring targets, planning, tracking progress, and helping nations and stakeholders make informed decisions, plans, and on-going adjustments that will contribute toward achieving all the needed changes toward a more sustainable development. Combined with demographic and statistical data, these sources enable nations to analyze and model conditions, create maps and other visualizations, evaluate impacts across sectors and regions, monitor change over time in a consistent and standardized manner, and improve accountability. GEO supports efforts to integrate Earth observations and geospatial information into national development and monitoring frameworks for these many sustainability applications. The recent acceleration of the production of EO data benefiting from the New Space industry as well as from new advanced radar and hyperspectral imaging satellites is taking the entire GEO community in another dimension of the terabit satellite era. This presentation will highlight how the GEO community is preparing the next wave of Big Earth Observations using new data infrastructures ready for AI, developing new platforms to share knowledge and coordinating the development of operational applications for impactful solutions.

What is AI for Good?
We have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.
More than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.
