Earth Observation for a Transforming Asia and Pacific
Satellite-based environmental information are innovative solutions that can provide new ways for ADB to serve and address development challenges.
This report summarizes results of the initiative Earth Observation for a Transforming Asia and Pacific (EOTAP), that brought together the European Space Agency (ESA) and ADB to promote and demonstrate satellite Earth Observation in support of ADB’s investments in its developing member countries (DMCs).
In ADB’s context, satellite-based environmental information falls under innovative solutions that are finding new ways for ADB to serve and address development challenges. Through this initiative, ADB increases its cooperation with specialized technical agencies, leading to strengthened capacity among its staff and in its DMCs to better exploit the potential of satellite-based geo-information. ADB is committed to seeing the successful deployment of this technology replicated on a broader scale in the longer-term.
