Objectives of the workshop
The primary objective of this international workshop is to present the findings of the PEOPLE-EA project and to share knowledge and experience in using Earth Observation in SEEA Ecosystem Accounting, with presentations from different ecosystem accounting projects and initiatives.
The final outcome would be an R&D evolution roadmap to progress further on the use of EO for SEEA EA.
The format of the workshop is highly interactive with oral presentations to set the scenes and group discussions.
We hope for a numerous presence on site but foresee a hybrid event for those who really cannot be present in person.
