TERMS OF REFERENCE SPECIAL SERVICE AGREEMENT (SSA)Special Service Agreement (Ssa) • April 26th, 2023
Contract Type FiledApril 26th, 2023The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is a global partnership that promotes the use of Earth observations (EO) as evidence for environmental decisions, policies and finance. Despite rapid advances in EO technology, governments and investors often do not have access to the right environmental data, at the right time and in the right format. This is particularly the case in low- and middle-income countries. Those most affected by climate change and disasters are often the least equipped to respond. GEO closes these gaps in environmental intelligence. We promote open, coordinated, and sustained sharing of data, information, and knowledge about the Earth in support of better research, policy making, decisions, and action. GEO convenes strategic partnerships to identify and develop the Earth Observation tools, services and coordination mechanisms needed to address global needs and knowledge gaps. More than 48 partnerships in the GEO Work Programme develop practical and reusable applications
