Big Data on the environment is essential to our understanding of the state of the world environment and the production of science-based tools for decision-making by governments, investors, industries and consumers, among others.

Held on “Digital Day”, the Leadership Dialogue will explore:

• What has been done so far in the development of a Global Environmental Data Strategy (GEDS) – including support and data integrations and analysis at the national level, and role of WESR.
• Gaps, priorities, and opportunities for action in climate data.
• Elements related to legislation, equity, democracy and transparency related to the technology use and the equitable sharing of Big Data products and services.
