Highlights from the First EOTEC DevNet Regional Drought Working Group Meet-ups
In April 2025, we held our first regional Drought Working Group meetings across Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Asia–Oceania. These sessions brought together experts and practitioners to share tools, challenges, and ideas for improving drought monitoring and response through Earth observation (EO).
A big thank you to all our speakers, WG leads, and participants for making this first round a success! We’re excited to keep building this global community.
