“GEO Tierra Ecuador, inspired by the initiatives of GEO and its community, promotes the use of Earth Observation (EO) data to strengthen geospatial analysis, data sharing, and regional cooperation. Coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Geographic Institute, the group has formed national teams in six key areas: biodiversity, disaster resilience, food security, health, water resources, and security for development. Our network has been instrumental in responding to recent emergencies—such as landslides, floods, and oil spills—enabling rapid assessments, informed decisions, and effective action. Thanks to GEO's support, we have strengthened the international exchange of knowledge and capabilities. Ecuador reaffirms its commitment to regional cooperation through open data policies, the use of interoperable geospatial information, and innovative solutions for more sustainable and resilient development”
