ISC organizes a webinar as part of its Distinguished Lectures Series: “Geospatial Information-Enabled SDGs Monitoring”. 

A systematic follow-up and review through indicators-based tracking and reporting of the progress towards 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through integration of statistical data and geo-information is a challenging task and a hot topic for both governmental agencies and scientific communities. This lecture provides an overview of United Nation recognized good practice on monitoring of geospatial information-enabled SDGs, which demonstrates how the overall SDGs progress at a local context can be well measured through developing a set of indicator-based, data driven and evidence-supported approaches with a geographic perspective.
