2. Societal Benefit Areas

4. Sustainable Development Goals

5. GEO Initiative on SDGs Targets
7.2 By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix 
7.3 By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency 

6. Key Objectives of the SBA
GEO will advocate the value of Earth observations, engage communities and deliver data and information in support of Energy and Mineral Resources Management by enhancing the discovery, development and sustainable production and use of mineral and renewable energy resources; in order :
to facilitate substantial increases in the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix, through usable, actionable information on resource assessment, monitoring and forecasting of intermittent energy sources, including solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, geo-thermal power and biomass.
to facilitate the sustainable management of geo-resources and to address the environmental, societal and unequal economic impacts of their exploitation

9. GEO Work Programme Symposium 2016 - Breakout Group Outcome -
Recommendations on data, information and knowledge within the GEO Portal
Lot of assets already available and discoverable within the GEO Portal, the web-service-energy.org community portal (harvested regularly)
Need for organizing of resources within the GEOSS Portal
Global datasets for mineral activities (One-Geology, ASTER global datasets, extension of EuroGeoSurveys databases, …)

10. How to organize the SBA community?
Continue structuration and engagement of existing Renewable Energy and Mineral Community (difficulty: diffuse aspects of minerals across SDGs)
Use of Essential Variables and Gap analysis identification for engaging and structuring communities
Issues that are not addressed in other fora, can be used for structuration and engagement
