EOTEC DevNet Information

The Earth Observation Training, Education, and Capacity Development Network Our aim: Make Earth observation-related capacity building more accessible and relevant. EOTEC DevNet’s goal is to increase the use of Earth information in decision-making on climate change and disaster management. Our approach: Improve cooperation and coordination among national, regional, and global institutions providing capacity building related to Earth observations. We seek to fill gaps, leverage resources, and reduce duplication of effort. We also foster exchange and knowledge sharing, and promote best practices on training needs assessment. Our thematic focus: Sustainable development outcomes related to disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation and mitigation. This work is aligned with 3 major frameworks: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
