[Geo4All] Open Geospatial Science

[Suchith Anand]

The United Nations initiative on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) aims at playing a leading role in setting the agenda for the development of global geospatial information and to promote its use to address key global challenges. It provides a forum to liaise and coordinate among Member States, and between Member States and international organizations. Details at https://ggim.un.org


The draft of Third Edition of Future Trends in geospatial information management: the five to ten year vision is now available for  global consultation and review by the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management . Details at
https://ggim.un.org/documents/DRAFT_Future_Trends_report_3rd_edition.pdf


The section on Open Science (Section 6.3 ; page 50-51) might be of interest. I wish to thank all colleagues who  contribute to open education and open science for bridging the geospatial digital divide.[1],[2],[3]


I am grateful to everyone working to make geoeducation and digital economy opportunities available for everyone.


Best wishes,


Suchith
