Earth Observation Day
Earth Observation Day
Earth Observation Day took place on 6 December 2024, in Gland, Switzerland, as part of efforts to integrate Earth observation technologies into wetland inventory, assessment, monitoring, and conservation. The event highlighted the growing importance of leveraging innovative technologies to support wetland management and sustainability initiatives.
Organised back-to-back with the 27th meeting of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP27), this day-long event brought together experts from the Earth observation community, STRP Members, and National Focal Points for a comprehensive consultation on the role of Earth Observation in advancing wetland monitoring. The event fostered valuable discussions, insights, and collaborations to enhance the integration of innovative technologies in wetland monitoring, conservation and wise-use.
More information on the consultation can be found in the Earth Observation Consultation Note. The working programme for the Earth Observation Day can also be found below.
