Global Geospatial Information Management (GGIM)

Global Geospatial Information Management (GGIM) is a framework established by the United Nations to coordinate and promote the use of geographic data worldwide. It facilitates sharing accurate, consistent, and reliable spatial information—like maps, satellite images, and location data—among countries and organizations. This helps governments, businesses, and communities make informed decisions on issues such as urban planning, disaster response, environmental management, and sustainable development. By standardizing practices and fostering collaboration, GGIM aims to improve global understanding of geographic data to address complex challenges more effectively.
