1 Global Partnership using Space Technology Applications for Disaster Risk Reduction General overview: Version May 8th, 2017

2 GP-STAR launch During the WCDRR UNOOSA / UN SPIDER, GEO, CEOS and several international partners launched an initiative on Earth observation Global Partnership Voluntary commitment to contribute to the achievement of the goals of the Sendai Framework In particular to address the specific requirements with reference to the use of Earth observation and space based technologies 2

3 WCDRR Working session: White paper Continue facilitating the dialogue among stakeholders in EO, satellite-based technologies and the global community of DRR experts and policy makers; Serve as a collective source and repository of information on efforts carried out worldwide by the EO and the satellite-based technology communities, including surveys and guidelines to improve the applications of existing and emerging technology to monitor hazards, exposure and risks; Generate policy-relevant advice to contribute to the integration of EO and satellite-based technologies into development process and public policies relevant to DRR; Facilitate the use of EO and related satellite-based technology to monitor progress in the implementation of the post-2015 framework for DRR. 3

5 Priority 1: Understanding disaster risk National and local levels 24(f) To promote real-time access to reliable data, make use of space and in situ information, including GIS, and use information and communications technology innovations to enhance measurement tools, collection, analysis and dissemination of data; Global and regional levels 25(c) Promote and enhance, through international cooperation and technology transfer [ ] access to, and the sharing and use of, [ ] data, information, [ ] communication and geospatial and space-based technologies and related services. Maintain and strengthen in situ and remotely-sensed earth and climate observations. [ ]; 5

6 Priority 4: Enhancing Disaster Preparedness National and local levels 33(b) Invest in, develop, maintain and strengthen people-centred multi-hazard, multi-sectoral forecasting and early warning systems, disaster risk and emergency communications mechanisms, social technologies and hazard-monitoring telecommunications systems Global and regional levels 34(a) Develop and strengthen, as appropriate, coordinated regional approaches and operational mechanisms to prepare for and ensure rapid and effective disaster response in situations that exceed national coping capacities; 6

8 Work plan 1. Baseline study: What methods, initiatives, results do exist 2. Baseline study: Comparing, evaluating and documenting 3. Develop best-practices / conceptual guidance 4. Feasibility and demonstration studies (national level: usability, fit for purpose) 5. Evaluate transferability, robustness 6. Develop and conduct capacity-building 7. Generate policy relevant advise 8

9 GP-STAR Terms of Reference Membership: Membership is open to all space agencies, universities, governmental, intergovernmental, United Nations entities, the private sector, financial institutions and non-governmental organizations active in the field of disaster risk reduction and / or Earth observation. New Members may be included upon consensus of the current Members of GP-STAR. Any Member may withdraw its membership at any time. The secretariat of the GP-STAR will regularly review memberships. Due to its voluntary nature, it is expected that the members will contribute with in-kind resources and may affiliate their programs and activities which are relevant to the GP-STAR. Each institution will nominate one staff member to serve as its representative in the partnership. An alternate representative may be nominated as well. 9
