UN-GGIM and Sustainable Development Goals - Greg Scott

Greg Scott, Inter-Regional Advisor, Global Geospatial Information Management, New York Sustainable development goals are important global policy agenda that we are going to see over the next 15 years. UN GGIM has worked diligently to ensure that member states understand the need for using geospatial information. Global indicator framework has emerged parallel to sustainable development goals. SDG indicators will require inputs from geospatial and earth observation communities. UN GGIM sits on expert group led by Denmark. A lot of data that we derive comes from Earth Observations. Have been working closely with Group on Earth Observations. Short time frame was a challenge in Sustainable development agenda. Indicator framework is in its final stages. A lot of data has to be generated from scratch. UNGGIM has to work closely in member states to provide guidance on process and methods. Will have an annual reporting mechanism. Unlike MDG’s, Sustainable development agenda is very cost cutting, inclusive and wide spectrum. 17 sustainable development goals cover many things from climate to poverty to urbanisation. Science and technology are key contributors to the process.
