Description:
While EO capabilities continuously grow, many organizations and institutions struggle to turn these assets into action. Institutional silos, technical limitations, and funding gaps often stand in the way. This webinar will bring together experts and practitioners from NASA, UNOOSA/UN-SPIDER, GEO and the El Salvador government to brainstorm solutions and share strategies for overcoming these barriers. The session will include a panel discussion and participant engagement to identify solutions.
Targeted Audience:
This webinar is recommended for Earth Observation and capacity development professionals, disaster risk managers and policy advisors, and GEO, EOTEC, and UN-SPIDER network members. However, this will be available for all who are interested.
Expected Outcomes:
From this webinar participants should expect to:
- Gain insights into the most common challenges blocking EO uptake in disaster management
- Discover actionable strategies for integrating EO into institutional workflows
- Hear from data providers and data users on innovations in the use of EO
- Connect with a growing community working to close the gap between data and impact
