The document discusses the implementation of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), emphasizing the need for data sharing, open access, and integration of Earth observation in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It highlights Australia's contributions via data cubes and partnerships with organizations like Copernicus, alongside efforts to monitor urbanization and climate change impacts across the Asia-Oceania region. The document also outlines strategies for enhancing regional capabilities in Earth observation to address various sustainable development challenges.

- 1. ISPRS Geospatial Week Steven Ramage, GEO Secretariat, 18 Sep 2017 @steven_ramage, sramage@geosec.org
- 6. GEOSS Implementation Requires: Data Sharing Principles • Full and Open Exchange of Data -- Open by Default • Data and Products at Minimum Time Delay and at Minimum Cost • Free of Charge or Cost of Reproduction
- 13. Australia’s Contribution • DataCube – Time-series multi-dimensional (space, time, data type) stack of spatially aligned pixels ready for analysis – Analysis Ready Data (ARD) ... Dependent on processed products to reduce processing burden on users – Open source software approach allows free access, promotes expanded capabilities, and increases data usage. • Copernicus Data Regional Hub
- 14. AO DataCube • Landsat and Copernicus data already deployed • GF-1 data in testing. (A technical meeting is scheduled in late September in Beijing) • More datasets from AO Countries will be tested and integrated • Training centers for AO DataCube are planned TIME
- 23. Agenda 2030 EO Case Studies GEO is instrumental in integrating Earth observation data into the methodology of measuring, monitoring and achieving the SDG Indicators. Brochure gives graphic illustrations of EO data allowing decision-makers to help identify the status of conditions they need to report, as well as visualize solutions. https://www.earthobservations.org/documents/publications/2017 03_geo_eo_for_2030_agenda.pdf
- 24. Earth Observations for SDGs “Population distribution” and “Cities and Infrastructure Mapping” are important to indicators and decision making related to all goals.
- 25. Urbanization • Indicator 11.3.1 Ratio of land consumption rate to population growth rate (Tier II, Potential Custodian agency: UN-Habitat, Other: UNEP, UNDP) 11.3 By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbani-zation and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries • The value of satellite-based EO data to monitor land cover change is acknowledged in the stakeholder comments.
- 26. Urban Growth -- Las Vegas, Nevada Population: 358,000 1,560,000 1973 2000
- 27. 220 October 2014 2014 – first tests on automat. assessment of global built-up areas using Landsat data GLS1975,GLS1990,GLS2000, and L8 JRC collection 15,30,75-m-res input Atlas of the Human Planet
- 28. GEO Human Planet Initiative • Building on the positive experience of the GHS WG New generation of global settlement measurements and products to supporting post- 2015 processes: • UN Third Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III, 2016) • Sustainable Development Goals • UN Framework Convention on Climate Change • Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 Oct 2016 - Side event UN Habitat III, including public release of the Landsat GHS baseline (epochs 1975-1990-2000-2014); initial set of SDG indicators proposal database
- 29. Community Activity: Land Cover and Change Goals: • Informing policy initiatives, including those from UN Conventions such as the Sustainable Development Goals, and at the national level • Operational systems that provide LC products that meet the varied needs of different users, including those at the global, regional, national, and sub-national levels • Easy access to existing LC and LCC information, including making it easier for users to find the data that best meets their needs
- 31. Climate Change Responding to the Paris Agreement Article 4 and Article 13 – National Reporting • Reported five-yearly by parties, successive reductions in emissions • Using existing methods and guidance; not validation Article 5 Mitigation • Knowledge of evolution of sinks and sources Article 7 Adaptation • (7.6) Strengthening cooperation, • (7.7c) Research, systematic observation Article 10 Technology Transfer & Article 11 Capacity Development Article 14 Global stocktaking • in the light of equity and the best available science: 2023, 2028… Article 15 Compliance GEO PB Action (Aug 2017): Organise a workshop on the EO response to the Paris Agreement

Editor's Notes
- #7: See slide text
- #14: DataCube plays a significant role in lowering the barriers to exploit Earth observation data to achieve the objectives of AO-GEOSS
- #21: GEO will advocate the value of Earth observations, engage communities and deliver data and information in support of Sustainable Urban Development by assisting in the development of resilient cities and assessment of urban footprints; in order to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable through identifying economic externalities, managing environmental, climate and disaster risks, and building capacity to participate, plan and manage based on objective information regarding urban development.
- #23: Transforming our World: The 2030 Plan for Global Action, Article 76 – public private cooperation using geospatial information, including Earth observations
- #24: GEO working on 6.6.1 spatial extent of water. GEO Secretariat, NASA and others are coordinating with UN Environment through the EO4SDG Initiative to measure spatial extent of open water bodies in 8 countries (starting with Peru, Senegal and Jamaica), to generate maps and analysis, and also test the use of very high resolution remote sensing in 3 of 8 countries. The NASA team will provide maps & estimates of vegetated wetlands extent across a select group of the 8 countries. For water quality, the NASA team will be using Landsat and Sentinel-2 to produce concentrations of Total suspended solids (TSS) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl) products. All National EO analysis will be packaged by NASA and provided to countries by UN Environment (around October 2017). Training sessions will follow dissemination of these EO data analyses. 15.3.1 Proportion of degraded land over total land area GEO representatives have again been extensively involved with UNCCD and FAO in their efforts to develop methodologies for monitoring degraded land through use of EO techniques. GEO Secretariat has been asked to provide advice and expertise in the UN process of elevating Goal 15 indicators to higher classification based on development and translation of EO techniques into robust methods that can be supported by the global statistical community.
- #27: Remote sensing allows us to observe the Earth in unparalleled detail and scope. The changes that we see on the land reflect changes in conditions that matter to people and to ecosystems.
- #28: New data and new methods create new information
- #38: The workflow is purposefully simple: A user enters a location of interest (national or subnational) on the homepage
- #45: Co-leads: Australia, China and Japan – with a dozen countries involved and 13 POs
- #49: The Coordination Board is the operational management team which bridges between political and technical demands and provides guidance to implementation of AOGEOSS tasks. With the Board set in July 2017, some progress has been made particularly on data sharing and data cube Coordination Board Members are from 8 countries: Australia, Cambodia, China, Japan, Laos, Mongolia, South Korea, Vietnam
