GEO is a unique global network connecting government institutions, academic and research institutions, data providers, businesses, engineers, scientists and experts to create innovative solutions to global challenges at a time of exponential data growth, human development and climate change that transcend national and disciplinary boundaries. The unprecedented global collaboration of experts helps identify gaps and reduce duplication in the areas of sustainable development and sound environmental management.
To protect our planet, we need the measuring and the monitoring capabilities that only Earth observations can provide. The United Nations (UN) recognize the significant contributions of GEO in advancing Earth observations to unlock transformative solutions to address the complex global challenges.
As GEO pursue a vision to make Earth intelligence accessible to everyone, the UN family welcomes its commitment to closely collaborate with GEO. Through concerted efforts and shared resources, we can achieve meaningful progress towards a safer and more sustainable future for all.

Highlights Report
As global challenges intensify, GEO’s mission to safeguard our planet through Earth intelligence becomes ever more critical. Our Post-2025 Strategy, shaped by a year-long consultative process, hones in on the need for transformative solutions and intergenerational collaboration. Importantly, the direction charted by this strategy is not a distant goal; it’s already taking shape through the ongoing efforts of the GEO Work Programme.
The GEO Highlights 2023 report not only showcases these advancements but also underscores how they set the foundation for our future endeavours.
