Earth Observation data for multi-scale monitoring of mining activities impact

This side event will showcase how Earth Observations (EO) can help monitoring the impacts of mining activities at different scales, using various tools and data sources, including remote sensing imagery and in situ. Use cases from Europe, the Americas, Asia-Oceania and Africa will be featured, and will also help the relevant actors to gather under the umbrella of the dedicated proposed Pilot Activity “Earth Observations for multi-scale monitoring of mining impacts” (GEO MINE) in the 2023-2025 GEO Work Programme.
