This year\u2019s motto was\u00a0\u2018From Vision to Action: Crafting GEO\u2019s Post 2025 Implementation Plan\u2019<\/strong>, and the two back-to-back events focused on translating the GEO Post-2025 Strategy into a detailed and costed Implementation Plan for the next decade.<\/p>\n

The presence of the Greek GEO Office and the Greek EO community was once more substantial and well noticed in several sessions. The Director of the Institute for Environmental Research and Sustainable Development of the National Observatory of Athens and Director of the Greek GEO Office, Dr Evangelos Gerasopoulos, in his\u00a0opening<\/a>\u00a0speech as the co-chair of GEO\u2019s Programme Board, highlighted the great expectations of the global community from GEO to contribute with data and knowledge to confronting the impacts from the triple planetary crisis. He also had the privilege to moderate one of the main Plenary Sessions devoted on\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>Transformative Programmes for GEO<\/strong><\/a>\u201d<\/strong>, introducing the new Structure of GEO\u2019s Work Programme, as transformed to serve the more efficient transition of research to operational services for a wide variety of users, with emphasis on GEO member states. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"While the\u00a0call for the<\/a>\u00a0submission<\/a>\u00a0of new GEO activities is now open\u00a0until the 31th<\/sup>\u00a0of October<\/strong>, in his closing remarks, Dr Gerasopoulos encouraged new EO players around the globe to come with new ideas and enrich the work programme with innovative EO solutions that solve real problems, even in the most remote corners of the planet.<\/p>\n
