[OSGeo-Discuss] The Twentieth Session of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

Suchith,

I was delighted to listen to your distinguished presentation that began with the world's first view of that delicate blue-and-tan jewel, the Earth, as seen from space. And then to learn more about GODAN and the NASA GODAN Challenge! A phrase that has such a nice ring to it!

Your efforts to establish Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition are invaluable. Your presentation to the UN clearly identified the priorities, we need open tools to turn open data into actionable information. 

The NASA Europa Challenge which will climax in Helsinki this year in late August is very proud to partner with GODAN for the NASA GODAN Challenge. 

Let's see what Earthlings can do when they apply their energies in helping each other!

Open data and open principles in science and education are key for ensuring food security by 2030. It is now for us to make use of it, for the benefit of all. Let us work together to eradicate extreme poverty and enable shared prosperity for all. Thank you.

Best wishes,
