UN Geospatial Information Section

The UN Geospatial Information Section is a part of the United Nations that uses mapping and geographic data to support its peacekeeping, humanitarian, and developmental efforts worldwide. They collect, analyze, and share geographic information—like maps, satellite images, and location data—to help plan operations, respond to crises, and make informed decisions. This ensures that UN missions are well-coordinated, resources are effectively allocated, and geographic challenges are understood, ultimately aiding in solving global issues related to conflicts, disaster response, and sustainable development.
