Session ID#: 14740

Session Description:
U.N. Agenda 2030 is a global development agenda for progress on economic, social and environmental sustainability. Seventeen Goals and associated Targets and Indicators anchor this Agenda 2030. There are specific provisions about uses of Earth observations, geospatial, and statistical information.

Now it’s our turn. There is a strong need for specific examples of how Earth science can address specific Goals, Targets, and Indicators. Organizations are developing methods and solutions that countries and stakeholders can use in their planning, tracking, and reporting. Strong examples are a key start.

 

This session invites submissions of examples and proposed methods for uses of Earth science data for specific Goals, Targets, and Indicators. We encourage examples done in collaboration with national statistical offices, such as the US Census Bureau, so they include the statistical basis that UN entities are familiar with. Submissions on natural capital accounting and ecosystem services valuation are welcome.
