Earth Intelligence: Make the Day Happen. Imagine waking up to a bright new day. A day where we understand our planet like never before.
A day where humanity realises that achieving all the Sustainable Development Goals is not just a distant dream but an attainable reality.
A day in which Earth Intelligence becomes a tool available to everyone to manage, protect and exploit resources in a sustainable and efficient way.
It may sound like science fiction, but this vision is grounded in science — not fiction.
GEO’s journey began with the recognition that Earth observation data should be accessible to everyone, regardless of location or resources.
Today, we are united in transforming this data into actionable Earth Intelligence, ensuring that—from the tallest skyscrapers to rural communities—each of us knows exactly what to do to protect our home.
We believe the day of Earth Intelligence starts now.
Event description
The inaugural GEO Global Forum in 2025 will be a premier global event to inspire all elements of our society – from Ministers and global leaders to citizens – to harness Earth Intelligence to empower informed and ambitious actions to ensure food security, restore ecosystems, prevent disasters, and confront the triple planetary crisis, transforming the Sustainable Development Goals into an achievable reality.
At the heart of the week, GEO-20 Plenary will include a Ministerial Segment and serve as the event’s centerpiece, where the GEO community will mark three key milestones in our journey:
- The launch, through of the first GEO Global Forum, of a dynamic platform for advancing Earth Intelligence for all.
- The celebration of the GEO's 20th anniversary, marking two decades of multilateral collaboration, innovation, and impact.
- The adoption of the Post-2025 Strategy Implementation Plan aimed to that must deliver achieve the ambitious goals of GEO’s Post-2025 Strategy
Why Attend the GEO Global Forum 2025?
GEO’s Post-2025 Strategy, launched in November 2023, outlines a vision of a world where Earth Intelligence drives the systemic shifts needed to accelerate the achievement of all the SDGs and, in the longer term, fosters a new paradigm for people and the planet, benefiting generations to come.
Now is the time to turn this vision to action.
Organised in the wake of Italy's G7 presidency, the GEO Global Forum will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators from around the world to agree on a common roadmap for implementing GEO's Post-2025 Strategy.
