GEO is a voluntary partnership of governments and international organizations. It provides a framework within which these partners can develop new projects and coordinate their strategies and investments.
It was launched in response to calls for action by the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development and by the Group of Eight (G8) leading industrialized countries. It is now coordinating efforts to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).
