About this book

This unique book investigates the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through geospatial information lenses, making the case that geospatial information is central to the SDGs and is imperative to understand the place, location, communities, and the people to identify where the root of the problem lies. Combined with other layers of information, it supports advanced analysis and visualizations and explains how SDG indicators can be interpreted and measured either through direct use of geospatial data itself or through integration with other statistical data. International case studies and coverage of all the SDGs help users evaluate impacts and monitor progress to achieve the SDGs.
