Earth Observation (EO) has become a crucial tool in monitoring deforestation, ecosystem degradation, and biodiversity conservation. This session will explore how EO technologies, AI-driven analytics, and global EO programs can improve real-time forest health monitoring, species tracking, and sustainable land management. It will focus on challenges such as illegal logging, habitat loss, climate-driven deforestation, and carbon sequestration monitoring.

Panellists discuss EO and AI impact on disaster risk reduction, focusing on case studies including the most recent Los Angeles wildfires disaster.

This session will focus on the critical role of ISO standards in advancing Earth Observation (EO) and sustainable development, particularly highlighting the contributions of ISO TC 211 and ISO/036.
