The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) has an established reputation as the primary forum for international coordination of space-based Earth observation (EO).\u00a0 Now in its third decade, CEOS\u2019s remit has greatly expanded since the organisation was first established in 1984.\u00a0 As the challenges affecting the planet become more pronounced, more frequent, and more acute, international cooperation is even more decisive.\u00a0 Today, stakeholder awareness of the value of satellite EO for societal benefit is high, and alongside this is an appropriately growing demand for remote sensing as a recognised tool to support users all along the value chain in their response to many important global and local challenges.\u00a0 CEOS is highly effective in delivering on stakeholder needs thanks to its strong leadership and robust internal communication.\u00a0 This allows CEOS to be coordinated in its response to partners and users, and to effectively deliver on its promises.<\/p>\n

An important set of tools that support CEOS in its work are a set of governing documents<\/a>, which provide structure and guidance as the satellite EO community seeks to answer stakeholder needs in a measured and appropriate way. \u00a0Given that CEOS is a \u201cbest efforts\u201d organisation, it needs to remain mindful of the limits of its collective resource capabilities, and good governance is key to this.\u00a0 To support the community at a practical level in clearly defining activities and identifying member contributions, a three-year Work Plan lies at the heart of CEOS governance.\u00a0 The CEOS Work Plan is updated every year, with each annual update covering a forward-looking three-year period.\u00a0 In a fully traceable manner, the Work Plan articulates CEOS commitments by clearly and visibly identifying, formally endorsing, and carefully tracking the implementation of its objectives.\u00a0 The Work Plan is developed from contributions that are collated from across the entire organisation and includes the finer detail of the work done by the various CEOS entities through a set of \u201cdeliverables\u201d.\u00a0 These deliverables are mapped out in full in a dedicated CEOS deliverables online tracking tool<\/a> to ensure transparently.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em>The current CEOS Work Plan covers the period 2023-2025 and represents a full recent annual update by the CEOS community.\u00a0 The CEOS 2023-2025 Work Plan<\/a> was endorsed by CEOS Principals in March 2023, immediately prior to the 38th CEOS Strategic Implementation Team (SIT-38) meeting.\u00a0 The CEOS 2023-2025 Work Plan contains 132 active deliverables, with 53 newly created for 2023 and the remainder being carried over from the previous year.\u00a0 The Work Plan is always a forward-looking document, though usual practice is that the main body of the work every year is focused on the near-term.\u00a0 Approximately 70% of current activities are due for completion by the end of 2023; the remaining have a longer than one-year timescale.\u00a0 Whilst most activities are by their very nature short-term endeavours, continued longer-term visioning is integral to CEOS\u2019s work planning.\u00a0 Horizon-scanning to identify, in good time, any challenges that may affect future work and resource commitments going forwards is always part of the annual Work Plan update considerations.<\/p>\n

The CEOS Work Plan represents a huge body of work and effort that is only possible with grateful thanks to the commitment of CEOS Members and Associates. \u00a0The dedication of the CEOS membership clearly demonstrates, quite dynamically, the organisation\u2019s vision:<\/p>\n

CEOS ensures<\/em> international <\/em>coordination of civil space-based<\/em> Earth observation<\/em> programs and promotes exchange of data to optimize societal benefit and inform decision making for securing a prosperous and sustainable future for humankind. <\/em><\/p>\n
