The GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program is an international environmental science and education program involving elementary and secondary school students in collecting data concerning their local environment and sharing the data through the Internet. Students and teachers implement 20 data collecting protocols designed by environment scientists, as part of an ongoing investigation in their areas of Atmosphere, Land and Cover/Biology, Soil, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). In addition, learning activities have been developed for each investigation area to put the data collection activities into an educationally meaningful context.

The GLOBE Program was introduced in April 1994. Currently, 38,461 schools and 43,493 teachers worldwide are involved in the program from 126 countries. In Nepal, the GLOBE program was initiated in the year 2000 and ECCA has been facilitating the program as the Country Coordinator.
