2018+ activities Strategic: support CEOS representative to the GEO Programme Board to ensure GEO's Work Program aligns with SDG priorities, identifying gaps and proposing additions/modifications to the GEO Work Program. Tactical: coordinate the CEOS contribution to the GEO agencies’ EO4SDG initiative. Implementation: strengthen CEOS in GEO agencies’ involvement community activities, initiatives and flagships (with EO relevance for SDGs), promoting an adaptation/tailoring of existing EO methods/products/tools to SDG Targets and Indicators. Products P3: CEOS Engagement Report Summary of the main contributions of the AHT SDG to the GEO activities on SDGs; To be compiled every year for presentation to CEOS Plenary; First version to be available for information at CEOS plenary 32 in October 2018. Task 4: EO contribution to the SDG Targets and Indicators Objective Assess the current and potential contribution of EO to the SDG Targets and Indicators (through the lenses of space-based EO) and identify areas of better EO uptake. Purpose To increase the effective use of satellite observations and products in the overall SDGs process (targets achievement and indicators’ monitoring) and by all key players (global to local) Partnership To be done in partnership with the GEO EO4SDG initiative. 2017 activities Analyzed and reviewed the global Indicators framework (consolidated tables have been circulated) Initiated an ESA-funded project on EO4SDGs that includes a thorough study of the current and potential contribution of EO the SDG Targets and Global Indicator Framework (call issued in August, start in 2018 Q1). 2018+ activities Conduct an in-depth analysis of the use of EO in the IAEG-SDGs Metadata Repository (SDG Indicators) and as a source of information for countries to better achieve their targets. Communicate the result of the analysis in partnership with the – GEO EO4SDG initiative - to the IAEG-SDGs Working Group on
