A new UN-SPIDER newsletter is now available. The latest issue focuses on the use of Earth observation for the post-2015 sustainable development agenda. 2015 is a milestone year for the United Nations. Not only is the organization celebrating its 70 years of existence, the year is also the starting point for major agreements and frameworks that will shape global sustainable development in the years to come.
The latest issue of the UN-SPIDER Newsletter focuses on the use of Space-based information for disaster risk reduction. This is a particularly important topic in the context of the post-2015 disaster risk reduction framework to be agreed upon in March 2015 in Sendai, Japan.

Any organization that wants to make a difference on a global level needs a global network to support it, because no single actor possesses the whole set of required skills. Since its establishment, UN-SPIDER has therefore devoted considerable efforts to building its network of Regional Support Offices (RSOs).

Crowdsource Mapping aims at an improved disaster management: The idea is to collect data from as many on-site sources as possible and translate that real-time data into maps. Being aware of the surrounding and the infrastructure, locals can render accurate geo-referenced information or comment on existing data and thereby help disaster managers expand the information they need for emergency operations.
