Welcome to our space on the integration of geospatial and statistical data
Data is a critical resource for evidence-based decision-making and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has brought the need for harmonised data of increasing quality, accuracy, currency and granularity to the forefront of global, regional and national agendas to support the measurement and monitoring of its SDGs. The integration of geospatial and statistical data is one of the most promising ways to maximise the value of data-driven decision-making and global efforts to progress data integration have been ongoing for a decade, centred upon the work of the United Nations, its various bodies and expert groups, and increasingly extended and adapted to regional and national contexts through the work of UNECE, Eurostat, UN-GGIM: Europe, EFGS and others. The benefits of integrating geospatial and statistical data are great: enhancing the value of the geospatial and statistical data itself through improved quality, improving the interoperability of datasets, providing new possibilities for analysis and presentation, and resulting in greater insights which can inform decision-making and policy development across multiple levels.
This space has been developed with the support of UN Contribution Agreement No. 2021.0180 and is designed to bring together information on upcoming workshops, links to key groups and resources relating to data integration, as well as the home of a new blog series on integrating geospatial and statistical data, INGEST, which has recently been launched. Happy exploring!
