Webinar - 8 jul 2020 - Advancing Role of Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure in World Economy, Society and Environment

FUENTE
WEBINAR 8 July 2020

United Nations-Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) has developed the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF), which focuses on national geospatial information in its broadest sense. It provides guidance to countries on development of country-specific action plans, based on 9 strategic pathways, to incorporate new and innovative approaches to national geospatial information management. Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructures (GKI) ensures that geospatial data, services and knowledge meet the requirements of tomorrow’s next-generation society, solving tomorrow’s challenges with tomorrow’s tools. GKI builds upon the framework of IGIF, focusing from the user demand perspective, in place of geospatial information supplier perspective. Geospatial Media and Communications has embarked on a journey with the United Nations Statistics Division and a host of partner organisations from different contexts to define, develop and help countries establish a Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure. The project aims to bring out the value proposition of Geospatial Knowledge​, forecast its relevance and connectivity with fundamentals of next generation economy and society​ and to redefine the role of stakeholders: government, industry and civil society​. The campaign launched in January 2020 is titled, “Advancing Role of Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure in World Economy, Society and Environment”. Join the Webinar on “Advancing Role of Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure in World Economy, Society and Environment” on 8 July 2020 from 1130 – 1330 hrs UTC to find the answers to the following questions, and many other aspects of Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure. How is IGIF aligned with GKI? For countries that have already begun restructuring their institutional arrangements and policies based on IGIF, how can they leverage from GKI? How can countries communicate to their leadership on advantages of integrated IGIF and GKI? How will it benefit their socio-economic development?
