Guests:
Barbara Ryan, Secretariat Director of the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO)
Steven Ramage, Head of External Relations for GEO
Denis McClean, Head of Communications, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR)
Our episode featuring GEO and UNISDR focuses on Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction, putting global earth observation data to work, and the successes in this field over the past year. Such as, GEOGLAM, a new initiative that is strengthening global agricultural monitoring to improve the use of remote sensing tools for crop production projections and weather forecasting. The Geneva Geeks team couldn’t stop thinking about the unleashed potential of connecting the imagery and earth observation data collected around the world to the communities that need it in order to plan for disasters and pursue more prosperous lives.
