Uniformed standards, observations, measurements, scales, mandates, and geographic domains for environmental data and information would provide policy-makers and decision bodies the required tools needed to organize the abstract and fragmented data accumulating at numerous locations in various geographies. It is crucial to build partnerships to support the collection, acquisition, and organization of this mounting environmental data.
Key stakeholder agreement and joint participation could produce a global environmental information network that would encourage integration of existing systems and networks, and build new ones where appropriate, to keep the world environmental situation under continuous objective review. The Eye On Earth Summit – Abu Dhabi 2011 will convene the primary policy and technical experts from around the world. The objective is to build consensus regarding the way forward, and establish mutual commitments for that unanimity.
A growing community of regional and international entities are convening in Abu Dhabi, in early 2011 to address this and other similar challenges.
The Eye On Earth Summit Abu Dhabi, will consist of a multi-track conference and exhibition, will involve the participation of high-level policy-makers, decision-makers and technical specialists from the international community, as well as governmental and non-governmental sectors.
Look for this event and others like it to increase geospatial recruiting in the Arabian Gulf!
