4. Human development index?

5. Institutions are the key Justice Public health Information Knowledge

6. Divided we stand Dom Helder Câmara: When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why are they poor, they call me a communist." HAL to human: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

7. Public goods Non-rival An individual's consumption of a good leads to no subtractions from any other individual's consumption of that good Non-excludable it is not acceptable to exclude any individuals from consuming the good

8. Geospatial data are public goods

10. Agriculture Energy Ecosystems Climate change Weather and natural disasters Space technology adds value to Brazil´s natural knowledge economy Megacities

11. The fundamental question of our time fonte: IGBP How is the Earth’s environment changing, and what are the consequences for human civilization?

12. Global Change Where are changes taking place? How much change is happening? Who is being impacted by the change? What is causing change? Human actions and global change photo: A. Reenberg photo: C. Nobre

13. Slides from LANDSAT Aral Sea 197319872000 images: USGS Geoinformatics and Change: A Research Programme How do we decide on the use of natural resources? Can we describe and predict changes resulting from human decisions? What computational tools are needed to model human- environment decision making?

14. Nature: Physical equations Describe processes Society: Decisions on how to Use Earth´s resources We need spatially explicit models to understand human-environment interactions

15. Scientists and Engineers Photo 51(Franklin, 1952) Scientists build in order to study Engineers study in order to build
