The report released by the World Economic Forum delves into the economic potential of Earth Observation (EO) technologies across various sectors.
Greater adoption of Earth Observation data and technology can boost global growth by adding up to $3.8 trillion to global GDP.
The global value of Earth observation data is projected to increase from $266 billion to over $700 billion by 2030.
Earth Observation Data has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 2.2 gigatonnes annually, which is equal to the emissions of 476 million cars.
The Asia Pacific region will be the leader in capturing the value of EO, potentially reaching $315 billion by 2030.
Earth Observation is the process of collecting information about activities and characteristics on Earth which includes physical, chemical, biological and anthropogenic (human) systems.
