Our Secretary General and Executive Director, Sallie Payne Snell, is participating in this week's 16th Session of the UN Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM), reaffirming EuroGeographics' commitment to a stronger, more connected global geospatial community.
Participation in this global forum enables us to represent the interests and expertise of our members beyond Europe, contribute European perspectives to international discussions, and strengthen collaboration with partners from around the world.
As discussions recognise the growing importance of integrating geospatial information into the broader UN agenda, Sallie is sharing EuroGeographics' experience in improving access to authoritative geospatial data and supporting disaster resilience, sustainable development and climate action. She is also highlighting the value of partnerships through initiatives such as EuroCoreReferenceMap and Copernicus, alongside our continued support for UN-GGIM: Europe for which we provide the Secretariat though our SLA with Kadaster Netherlands, fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange and capacity building.
We look forward to continuing our contributions to the conversations that will help shape the future of the global geospatial agenda.
