Subject: [D4N Stakeholders] Join the GEO Indigenous Alliance and partners for a 
discussion on Indigenous Peoples-led Use of Earth Observations
To: d...@data4sdgs.org<mailto:d...@data4sdgs.org>


Dear Data 4 Now Colleagues,



Please see below from Theadora Mills of GEO:

Tomorrow at the United Nations High Level Political Forum (HLPF), the Group on 
Earth Observations (GEO) will join a forum for Indigenous Peoples and those who 
work with them to discuss opportunities and challenges for increasing 
Indigenous Peoples engagement in the co-development, co-creation and use of 
Earth observations (EO) data and tools. This is in support of the Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs) to develop specific requirements for EO data, enabling 
widespread impact to indigenous culture, land holdings, climate change and 
youth empowerment.

This HLPF side event is being organised by FILAC, CANEUS, GEO, NASA, 
Conservation International, Agvesto, and Saraniasat. The HLPF is the main 
United Nations platform on sustainable development and it has a central role in 
the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development the 
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the global level.

Recognizing and honouring indigenous culture and knowledge, as well as 
supporting indigenous stewardship of the millions of acres of land under 
indigenous management represents a potential transformative pathway to meeting 
the SDGs.

This side event includes a panel of experts, with several representatives from 
the GEO Indigienous Alliance namely Diana Mastracci, James Rattling Leaf Sr. 
and Titus Letaapo, who will discuss key challenges and opportunities for 
inclusive engagement with indigenous peoples to advance EO design and 
applications for sustainable development at the community level. They will also 
discuss the successes and lessons learned from experience co-designing and 
applying EO technologies to help advance indigenous rights.

Earth observations which include satellite, aircraft and ground monitoring 
technologies can play a key role in supporting indigenous-led land management. 
However, Indigenous Peoples currently do not have equal access or opportunities 
to these technologies, including EO data and tools. To narrow this gap, we must 
understand the unique challenges indigenous communities face to use and develop 
EO technologies and address key topics to strengthen indigenous peoples’ rights 
and help unlock EO capabilities for all.

Join the discussion on July 9, 12:00 to 13:30 EST
