In response to the COVID-19 crisis, an unprecedented coalition has come together to launch “Earth School,” a free, high quality educational portal to help students, parents and teachers around the world who are currently at home to explore the science and beauty of planet Earth.
Launched today on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), TED-Ed, and supported by more than 30 other collaborators including the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and over 100 individual contributors, Earth School is a new educational platform available to teachers, students, and curious global citizens.

We take this occasion of Earth Day to reaffirm the ever important role of Earth observations for understanding and protecting our planet and our shared future.
