In overall terms, the UN SDGs have an intrinsic safety and security component, as they have been defined with the ambition of moving towards a better society in which safety and security of societies and citizens would be guaranteed.
Enhancing the capacity of relevant stakeholders to achieve the SDGs of relevance for security is one of the operating axes of SPACE-SECURITY, a Pilot Initiative within GEO dedicated to foster EO-based security related activities.
SPACE-SECURITY has been, since its early days, continuously looking at identifying synergies and at developing solutions to improve the safety and security of citizens and societies by exploiting EO data, collateral data and associated technologies, and the SDGs-EYES project will be a representative example of the know-how sharing within suitable partners.
This webinar aims at presenting use cases that address relevant SDGs in different domains interlinked with security (e.g. climate security, water security) to GEO members and beyond. The webinar is open to any interested actor working in these domains to foster dialogue among participants. During the webinar, the audience will have the possibility of providing feedback on the presented use cases.
The event is for free.
