Digital Earth Partnership – Space for Resilient Development
The Digital Earth Partnership is a new collaboration of the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery administered by the World Bank. The partnership builds on the rapid expansion of the capabilities of space-based satellites observing the earth, combined with advances in Artificial Intelligence, that make it possible to realize the concept of a Digital Earth: a digital representation of the planet accessible to all and mobilized in support of sustainable development. This session brings together supply-side Space Agencies offering services in space data and technology for risk information, with the demand side development Banks and practitioners in disaster risk reduction. The session will highlight key programs in Space for Resilient Development and explore cooperation opportunities to enhance sustainability and scale-up adoption.
Organized by: GFDRR/World Bank and JAXA
