Facilitated by Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI) and hosted by Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Eye on Earth Summit will strengthen existing efforts and inspire a search for unified, global solutions to the issues that preclude access to data.

The European Environment Agency is a contributor to the summit. Prof. Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the EEA, will present the multi-lingual environmental information platform Eye on Earth, which provides users with intelligent maps, easy access to data from near real-time environmental observations, monitoring stations, sensors and satellites across the world, model outputs, mobile applications, films and images.
