DESCRIPTION:A number of policy initiatives over the last three decades have
  been striving to limit the impacts of global warming\, reverse land degra
 dation\, stop the loss of biodiversity\, protect finite natural resources\
 , and reduce the risks associated with environmental disasters. They are s
 ummarized under the umbrella\nof the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the Su
 stainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, which together aim at building the re
 silience of people and systems to new environmental and socioeconomic cond
 itions in the future.\nBeyond political will\, achieving these objectives 
 and tracking progress requires science\, data and technology: sophisticate
 d observation instruments and networks\, coordinated modeling experiments\
 , scientific assessments\, global data access infrastructures and analytic
 al capacity to process\nand translate data into relevant information. Whil
 e some of these endeavors have benefited from international coordination a
 nd funding under the umbrella of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Develo
 pment\, the Paris Agreement on climate change\, the Sendai Framework for D
 isaster Risk Reduction and other framework agreements\, many still rely on
  uncoordinated national or international projects\, resulting in a prolife
 ration of incompatible\, short-lived initiatives. Beyond the waste of time
  and energy\, our main concern is that many solo technological initiatives
  all solve the same simple problems\, deferring work on more complex issue
 s.\nAdvances on the hard global problems of our time requires greater coll
 aboration and innovation. We argue that policy instruments should include 
 technological guidelines\, for example mandate the use of international st
 andards for analysis ready data formats\, metadata\, geodatacubes or machi
 ne to machine communication protocols\, in order to foster interoperabilit
 y and software reuse. This would strengthen\ninternational collaboration o
 n innovative development\, and in turn contribute to the deployment of eff
 ective\, robust and scientifically credible products to support decision-m
 aking and\nlocal climate action.
