United Nations Geospatial Information Section

The United Nations Geospatial Information Section (UNGISS) is a part of the UN that gathers, analyzes, and shares geographic data—like maps, satellite images, and spatial information—to support global peace, security, development, and humanitarian efforts. It helps UN agencies and partner countries make informed decisions by providing accurate and up-to-date location-based insights. This work enables better planning, coordination, and response to issues such as disaster relief, conflict resolution, and sustainable development goals worldwide.
