Earth observation plays a key role in redefining goals of an effective global governance of the environment by providing essential information on a fast changing world. The SELPER 2012 symposium objective is to highlight the remote sensing experiments performed in Latin America that are involved in the definition and the monitoring of new targets for global environmental governance, eradication of poverty and green economy.
At a historical moment when multiple and global crises hit together finance, food security, migration, energy, water, biodiversity, desertification, natural disasters, globalization, health, climate and poverty, Earth observation is playing an increasing role in delivering to scientists and policy makers, key information on the status and dynamics of the environment and territories.
