The Seventh Space4Water Stakeholder Meeting took place online on 23 June 2026 and was co-organised by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz International Prize for Water (PSIPW).
The meeting -- an intensive workshop attended by Space4Water stakeholders, featured professionals, young professionals, and representatives of Indigenous communities --alternates between live meetings at the UN Headquarters in Vienna, and meetings that take place online.
At the Seventh Space4Water Stakeholder Meeting, the community had an opportunity to meet and exchange. The objectives for the meeting include:
• Fostering knowledge exchange between Space4Water stakeholders, professionals, young professionals, and Indigenous voices;
• Co-developing space-based solutions for water-related challenges; and
• Identifying and addressing other ways to improve Space4Water community interaction and achieving shared objectives.
The meeting was opened by Lorant Czaran, UNOOSA Chief of the Space Applications Section, and David Jalajel from PSIPW.
The delegates deliberated on dedicated space and water solutions within the framework of various thematic groups and presented their progress to the full delegation.
Some highlights relating to ongoing Space4Water projects that were updated are:
• Verónica De Souza of the Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities, working in the framework of the Group for Land Use Land Cover Changes and their Impact on Water Resources, presented her team’s progress on their project of change detection in land cover mapping using remote sensing data over prioritized hydrographic basins of Venezuela.
• Sharif Islam of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working in the framework of the Group for Floods, GLOFS, Landslides and Trans-Boundary Early Warning, presented his team’s progress on theor project of integrating remote sensing and socioeconomic indicators for flood vulnerability assessment in Bangladesh.
• Progress on the project for satellite-based ecohydrological analysis for spring revival in Nepal’s middle Hills was discussed by the Groupf for Water, Mountains, and Forest members Tejendra Kandel from the University of Virginia and Shipra Singh from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis – IIASA.
A number of other projects that were reported on include:
• Sherine El Baradei of the German University in Cairo, presented “Where Water Meets the Cosmos: TWINSTAR, A New Mission Concept for Finding Earth 2.0.”
• Washington Otieno of the World Meteorological Organization – WMO, presenting “Interoperable Exchange of Hydrology Data.”
Ongoing projects are at various stages of development, from advanced conceptualisation, to preparation, and to early implementation. At the Seventh Stakeholders Meeting, developments were discussed and operational tools that had been under development from earlier meetings were demonstrated.
