Satellites support businesses working for sustainable development

eporting or further opportunities with EOMD, please eomd@esa.int.

Back in June 1992 the United Nations Earth Summit taking place in Rio, Brazil formally adopted Agenda 21, a global action plan for sustainable development. In August 2002 the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa, renewed the goals of Agenda 21, and emphasised the special role that space-based systems can play in carrying them out.

These new activities within EOMD are designed to address the corporate and industrial aspects of sustainable development. As such, they complement other ESA activities, including the TIGER Initiative for sustainable water management in Africa and the activities within the Data User Element, which focus on institutional and government aspects of sustainable development.
