First expert group meeting where participants will scope an integrated, tech-empowered cross-sectoral approach to data optimization, governance and access to meet multilateral environmental goals and advancing green-digital transition. This work is designed to provide valuable insights and help support ongoing UN processes. The format of the meeting is highly interactive and expert group members will be expected to provide their perspective, expert views and use cases. Recommendations from the expert group meeting, plenaries and breakout sessions will be compiled in a technical report and shared with high-level decision makers across the UN and the UN Environment assembly. More than 150
participants all over the world from governments, European Union institutions, space agencies, technology companies, UN entities.

Launched at the UN Environment Assembly in December 2017, the UN Science- Policy-Business Forum on the Environment (UN-SPBF) is the United Nations’ fastest-growing inter-agency, multi-sector convening platform on the environment.
The Forum builds on the power of partnership to scale up solutions and grow green technology markets, ones that are driven by advances in science and technology, empowering policies, and innovative financing. The Forum organizes issues-based
consultations, roundtables, thematic conferences, and in-depth negotiations between top scientists, policy makers, citizen science groups, and the business sector. Since its launch, the Forum has grown into a dynamic interface of over 3,500 contributors and partner institutions — representing the worlds of business, science and policy — who are committed to this vision. It provides a unique platform for multiple sectors to work together to help shape a sustainable and equitable future for all.
