AMERIGEOSS: A GEO INITIATIVE NOVEMBER 6, 2015

The Americas Caucus members (Argentina, Bahamas, Belize, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and the United States) have recognized the value of working together as one region to meet GEO objectives. In October 2014, the AmeriGEOSS initiative was born as a way to continue the progress made at that meeting in identifying regional needs GEO can address. Priority thematic areas identified form the technical basis of this initiative. The management arrangements that create organized thematic and coordination-working groups provide the sustained coordination framework to ensure the success of this initiative over the next decade.
