Webinar – Geospatial information for territorial policy support in the context of SDGs

Join UN-GGIM: Europe in a series of webinars focussing on the SDGs. The webinar programme aims to demonstrate how geospatial data are used to support territorial policies on, for instance reducing inequalities, enhancing access to services or boosting resilience to climate impacts and biodiversity loss, and how it supports the evaluation of the impacts of place-based investments.

The concept note can be found here. The recording of the webinar can be found here.
