Alliance for Global Environmental Intelligence
AGEI
AGEI is a visionary, multi-stakeholder initiative launched by the GEI Lab to foster global cooperation on environmental monitoring, disaster resilience, and sustainable development. It brings together governments, researchers, non-profits, and private sector actors to share data, technologies, and knowledge to improve how the world understands and responds to environmental challenges.
AGEI advances five core goals to transform global environmental intelligence:
Facilitate global collaboration
Connect researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to co-develop innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges.
Promote open data & knowledge sharing
Encourage transparency and accessibility of environmental intelligence across governments, researchers, and communities.
Strengthen disaster response
Support rapid deployment of monitoring and risk assessment tools in vulnerable regions.
Support capacity-building
Offer training, workshops, and knowledge-sharing programs—especially targeting the Global South.
Influence policy & advocacy
