GEO Week & Ministerial Summit 2023

The Earth is talking and it's time to listen.

Climate. Biodiversity. Air quality. The planet has a lot to say about the things that each and every one of us depend on.

But can you hear what it’s saying?

There is more data than ever before on our changing Earth. The problem is that many people can’t get hold of it, and when they can, it’s in a language they don’t understand.

If we’re going to act on what the planet is saying, we need an organization that can bring together the best Earth observation data, technology and science and translate it into free, trusted information that makes sense to everyone.

That organization is GEO. We are coming together at the Cape Town Ministerial Summit to shape our future and respond to the Earth’s calls for action.

GEO Week 2023, took place in Cape Town, South Africa, from Monday 6 to Friday 10 November 2023. The 19th Plenary Session will be on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 November 2023, followed by the Ministerial Summit on Friday 10 November.

GEO Week 2023 and the Ministerial Summit will be in-person events. Some sessions will be broadcast through a livestream, but without the ability to remotely ask questions or provide interventions. 

Details on the draft programme, exhibition, accommodation, registration, and logistics can be found on the GEO Week 2023 website.
