United Nations Spatial Data Infrastructure (UNSDI)

The United Nations Spatial Data Infrastructure (UNSDI) is a framework that provides coordinated access to geographic data collected and maintained by countries and organizations worldwide. It aims to improve the sharing, integration, and use of spatial information—like maps, satellite images, and location data—to support global decision-making on issues like disaster response, sustainable development, and environmental management. By standardizing data practices and promoting collaboration, UNSDI helps ensure that stakeholders have reliable and timely geographic information to address complex global challenges effectively.
