World Water Week 2023

About The Event

World Water Week is the leading conference on global water issues. It is focused on innovation at a time of unprecedented challenges. The theme seeds of change and Innovative Solutions for a Water- Wise World invites us to rethink how we manage water. World Water Week 2023 will plant seeds of change, drawing on the latest scientific knowledge and experiences from around the world. The conference will explore how water can be a powerful tool to address the water crises, global heating, biodiversity loss, poverty and many other water- related challenges. 

World Water Week is also an important meeting place for policy makers and institutions to accelerate progress on international processes related to water development and climate. 

RCMRD International Conference 2023

About The Event

The theme of the this year's conference will be "NEXT LEVEL: Space to Community". 

Key objectives:

  • To bring together various user domains within and beyond EO to understand the science policy interaction and policy formulation.
  • To spur ideas around the efficient and effective utilization of various information already accessible for various decision making levels.
  • To enhance partnerships, collaboration, learning, layering, communication and evaluation approaches for societal benefits.

The conference provides an excellent platform of how geo-science can effectively be used to inform policy. In every aspect of our life, communities at all levels, not only need information access in decision making but also the capacity to use the information and make sense out of it. The information on the earth systems ( the Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, Cryosphere and Geosphere) and the relationship and interaction among them has been generated and shared through various platforms and initiatives focusing on interdisciplinary approach, learning and adaption. The impacts of this interactions of the aforementioned systems have formed the core to most research, data and technologies all geared towards improving the quality of life not only for the present generation but for the future generation as well.

Thirteenth Session of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM)

About The Event

Led By United Nations Member States, UN-GGIM aims to address global challenges regarding the use of geospatial information, including in the development, agendas, and to serve as a body for global policymaking in the field of geospatial information management. 

The committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) was established to provide the leadership to ensure that geospatial information and resources are coordinated, maintained, accessible and able to be leveraged by Member States and society to find sustainable solutions for social, economic and environmental development. 

Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa) participated at the inaugural SPACE UNGANA 2023, held on 10-12 July 2023, at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), Nairobi, Kenya.
