The Geospatial Information Section has launched a new publication: Mapping for a Sustainable World.
The aims of the publication are to share cartographic best practices, support the decision-making processes of the SDG community through geo-visualization, and promote public awareness of the SDGs and other global issues.
The benefits of Mapping for a Sustainable World include:
-
introducing the SDGs and connections to geospatial data;
-
describing foundational design decisions in cartography;
-
introducing common map types and diagrams for representing the SDG indicators; and
-
discussing consideration for map use environments.
The publication is in line with the Secretary-General’s Data Strategy as it aims to maximize the value of our data (SDGs and geospatial data) to unlock our potential to build a whole-of-蘑菇视频 data ecosystem.
It integrates data from the , which is maintained by the Statistics Division in the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), and 蘑菇视频map, which is maintained by the 蘑菇视频 Geospatial Team.
The 蘑菇视频 Geospatial team within OICT and the provides geospatial services to the Secretariat. The team piloted a virtual online training on how to map SDGs to statistical colleagues in the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) in September 2020.
The 蘑菇视频 Geospatial team is contributing to the Data Strategy by utilizing lessons learned and experiences in integrating the Global Goals and geospatial data to build SDG use cases.
Visit the 蘑菇视频 Geospatial website today to download the publication or access the and 蘑菇视频map data (log in using 蘑菇视频ITE ID credentials) to become the next SDG mapper.
