We are delighted to announce an exciting upcoming workshop on EO for Ecosystem Accounting hosted by the European Space Agency in collaboration with the United Nations Statistics Division and GEO EO4EA. The workshop will take place November 28 - December 1, 2022. (Please find the website event page, details, and registration information here: https://eo4ea-2022.esa.int)
This workshop will bring together experts in Earth Observation and experts in Ecosystem Accounting to jointly discuss the key challenges that need to be addressed in order to use Earth Observation in compiling national ecosystem accounts to support national policies. We will address the use of Earth Observation for ecosystem accounts in all realms, from terrestrial, freshwater, coastal to marine ecosystems. The aim of the workshop is to reinforce the importance of joining efforts to provide robust and cost-effective EO solutions that help countries develop and compile their ecosystem accounts.
You will note that 5 of the sessions (Ecosystem Extent accounts, Ecosystem Condition accounts, Ecosystem Services accounts, Thematic accounts and Ecosystem Accounting operationalization) are open sessions with presentations selected through a call for abstracts.
This will be the most comprehensive workshop on EO for EA held to date. We encourage you to attend! It's completely online and free registration.
