La ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación son poderosos motores para un desarrollo sostenible e inclusivo. Proporcionan instrumentos para afrontar muchos de los retos económicos y sociales, como el cambio climático, la pobreza y la seguridad, por nombrar algunos. La observación de la Tierra y los datos espaciales son cruciales para las políticas públicas basadas en datos sobre el cambio climático, la biodiversidad, la salud, la agricultura, la seguridad, el desarrollo urbano y la preparación y respuesta a las catástrofes.
