SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The third National Plan is being developed
by the U.S. Group on Earth Observations, a team of interagency experts.
It will explore opportunities for the entire U.S. Earth Observation
Enterprise--a wide variety of stakeholders, including Federal
departments and agencies, national laboratories, academia, non-profits,
the private sector, think tanks, and state/local/Tribal governments--to
better leverage Earth Observations to address key societal challenges
and trends of the coming decade.
More coordinated and effective uses of Earth Observations will
improve the United States' capability to understand, monitor, and
forecast changes to the Earth system, which will enhance the Earth
Observation Enterprise ability to achieve key objectives (e.g.,
greenhouse gas emissions reductions). Beyond examining key thematic
areas for which Earth Observations can be better leveraged to achieve
desired future states, the third National Plan will also provide
recommendations for near- and mid-term actions needed to enable the
achievement of those objectives, along with discussion of technical and
non-technical cross-cutting issues that transcend thematic areas.
The first National Plan for Civil Earth Observations was released
in 2014 as a supplement to the 2014 Presidential Budget Request. It was
written in response to a need identified by the 2013 National Strategy
for Civil Earth Observations, and by section 702 of the NASA
Authorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-267). The first National Plan's
objective was to enable better coordination of Earth Observation data
collection, management, use, and associated investment across Federal
departments and agencies. The 2013 National Strategy recommended that
the National Plan be updated every three years to guide policy and
budget decision-making using the latest information. The second
National Plan (summary, full) was released in 2019 and extended the
vision for collaboration and coordination beyond the Federal Government
to include the larger Earth Observation Enterprise.
