Themed “Local Action in support of global traction”, this flagship event is being held for the first time on the African continent and aims to improve GEO Blue Planet’s engagement with African nations in an effort to expand the Earth observation community of practice, strengthen local capacity, and provide them with access to resources, tools and services.
