European Union INSPIRE Directive

The European Union INSPIRE Directive aims to create a standardized framework for sharing geographic and spatial data across EU countries. It ensures that maps, environmental information, and geographical data are consistent, accessible, and usable across borders. By doing so, it supports better decision-making for issues like environmental protection, urban planning, and disaster management. Essentially, it makes spatial data more interoperable, transparent, and efficient to use, fostering collaboration and innovation while maintaining high data quality standards across different nations.
