Join GEO and help solve global challenges through Earth intelligence. GEO unites governments, international organisations, research institutions, businesses, and civil society in a collaborative platform to build a more sustainable and resilient future. Be a part of a diverse network working across sectors to tackle complex issues with coordinated, impactful solutions.

Participating Organisations play a pivotal role in influencing GEO’s technical and policy decisions, as well as contributing to the Work Programme. Through active involvement in GEO’s Plenary and Programme Board, organisations help shape the network’s strategic direction.

As part of the global Earth observation community, they gain access to valuable expertise and knowledge, particularly in the areas of climate change, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development.

GEO welcomes, as Participating Organizations, organisations with a global or regional (multi-country) mandate and scope of operations that have an active interest in, or are a user of Earth observations, information and services.

To be recognised as a Participating Organisation of GEO, entities must send an application to the GEO Secretariat. Candidates must identify their proposed contributions to GEO, including, but not limited to, involvement in the GEO Work Programme, and/or the function performed by their organisation that would benefit the broader community of Earth observation users and advance the vision of GEO.

GEO does not require compulsory fees, encouraging voluntary contributions and programmatic support instead.
