dc.descriptionThis report outlines a global data strategy and digital platform designed to keep the environment under review and support the delivery of the sustainable development goals. Recognizing that environmental policies depend on integrated geospatial and earth observation data, the initiative establishes a distributed cloud computing architecture. It aggregates datasets from satellite imagery, citizen science networks, and international statistics to assess air quality, freshwater systems, biodiversity, and climate trends. The platform automates data processing into visual tools like maps and graphs to assist policy analysts and researchers. Key findings underscore that managing such vast data relies on global partnerships and advanced technologies to bridge knowledge gaps across countries.en
