The AmeriGEO initiative fosters collaboration among Group on Earth Observations (GEO) members across the Americas to ensure decisions benefiting the region are guided by comprehensive and sustained Earth observation data. Prioritizing five key Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs): Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture; Biodiversity and Ecosystem Sustainability; Disaster Resilience; Public Health Surveillance; Water Resources Management chosen by member nations, AmeriGEO works with regional and global partners to enhance decision-making through capacity development, accessible data, and practical applications.
The initiative provides tools like the DataHub, GEOSS Portal, and GeoNetCast, which enable users to discover and access diverse Earth observation resources worldwide. It also supports the development of tools such as GEOGLAM Crop Monitor, which delivers timely, science-based insights on crop conditions to improve market transparency and anticipate production shortfalls. Through its Inter-American Academy, AmeriGEO strengthens awareness, education, and capacity building, empowering communities to utilize Earth observation data for informed decision-making and innovative solutions to regional challenges.
