This Plenary session will convene Ministers and high-level representatives to explore how Earth Intelligence can be operationalized to support One Health strategies that recognize the interdependence of human, animal, and ecosystem health, and the essential role of nature and biodiversity. The discussion will emphasize the value of integrating indigenous and local knowledge with scientific data to enhance the relevance and impact of health and environmental decision-making. Participants will engage in a high-level panel discussion, exchanging perspectives on how global cooperation and innovation can foster cross-sectoral data integration and more holistic, equity- driven health solutions. Ministers will be invited to make political and financial pledges in support of the GEO Post-2025 Strategy Implementation Plan (2026-2030), reaffirming their commitment to advancing planetary health, ecosystem resilience, environmental justice, and science- and knowledge-informed policy. GEO delegations will be invited to interact with the panelists.
