„The Earth Talks“ was a motto of the 2025 Global Forum of the Group of Earth Observations (GEO) held on May 5-9 in the Auditorium della Tecnica in Rome. GEO brought together all elements of our society – from ministers and global leaders to citizens – to harness Earth Intelligence to empower informed and ambitious actions to ensure food security, restore ecosystems, prevent disasters, and confront the triple planetary crisis, transforming the Sustainable Development Goals into an achievable reality.
The RECETOX Centre was represented by Jana Klanova who presented the vision of RECETOX and the concept of the ESFRI infrastructure EIRENE at the EU Booth.
