Earth Observation Data for the UN "Early Warnings for All" Initiative

5:30 AM New York l 11:30 AM Vienna

OSUN's GeoHub project invites OSUN community members to a talk by Lorant Czaran, Scientific Affairs Officer at the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), exploring the application of Earth observation data in the context of the UN Early Warnings for All Initiative.

The talk will introduce UNOOSA in the context of the United Nations, mention relevant treaties related to space utilization, and discuss some of the mandates of the office. Czaran will focus on Early Warnings for All, a groundbreaking initiative ensuring that everyone on Earth is protected from hazardous weather, water, or climate events through life-saving early warning systems by the end of 2027.

As part of the UN Secretary-General’s Acceleration Agenda, the Early Warnings for All initiative is a key contribution to delivering climate justice to those at the frontlines of the climate crisis. It aligns with the priorities of the Paris Agreement and supports key provisions of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. It also contributes to delivering the targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development on poverty, hunger, health, water, clean energy, climate action and sustainable cities.  Learn more.
