Geospatial Technology for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
It is a recording of a webinar, where I explained the utilization of geospatial technology for the attainment of 'Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)'.
It is over a long time since the 2030 plan for sustainable development was embraced by the United Nations and its member states in September 2015. A few endeavors are being made by member nations to contribute towards accomplishing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To monitor the progress for every set goal, a bunch of quantifiable indicators, targets, and observable data explicit to every goal has been devised. This requires precise data observations at local community level and subsequent decisions, which incorporate the coordinated effort of different stakeholders. The United Nations has highlighted issues of data quality and data collection capacities to ideally quantify different indicators and has emphasized on the requirement for a ‘Data Revolution’ to upgrade the information quality. Geospatial technology is providing one of the most promising data sources which can be applied for monitoring progress in achieving the SDGs.
“It's one of the hottest technologies out there.”
