Contribution : ​SUMMARY Environmental sustainability is a global priority and digital technologies, including geospatial tools and applications, have revealed over the last decades their full potential to play a critical role in targeting, monitoring and evaluating environmental and climate change risks mitigation and adaptation investments. As highlighted by the most recent and current events, and forums at the highest level, enshrined by COP 26, it is now clearer than ever that we can only rise to environmental challenges that include climate crisis by working together and FAO´s work over the last years has been concretely contributing to meeting these challenges. FAO´s mandate includes supporting and assisting countries in their transformation towards more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agri-food systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life. The organization´s Big Fours, leaving no one behind. Through its new and strengthened focus on Digital for impact, especially with its Hand in Hand geospatial platform and subsequent agro informatics tools, FAO´s work aims at enabling digital capabilities for decision makers in our actual world challenging context, strengthening collaboration with people, academia, business and other international organizations to achieve common goals for environmental sustainability worldwide.
