UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal
Help Shape the Future of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal
The UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal is your one-stop platform for resources on space-based disaster risk management. It provides: • Links and guidance on satellite data sources and applications • Recommended practices and step-by-step methodologies • Training materials and tutorials • Case studies and user stories from real-world applications • News and updates on UN-SPIDER activities, events, and global developments
Since its last major review in 2012, the Portal has evolved significantly. Now, we want to hear from you.
We invite you to take part in the 2025 evaluation of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal!
The Humanitarian Networks & Partnerships Week (HNPW) conference is an annual humanitarian event that provides a collaborative space for experts, stakeholders and practitioners from a diverse array of organisations -UN agencies, IFRC, NGOs, military, private sector, academia, and Member States- that can express their experiences, introduce new ideas and tools, and connect and cooperate in finding solutions to common challenges in crisis preparedness and response.
This year’s HNPW conference will be held in a hybrid format, combining remote sessions (17-21 April) with face-to-face and hybrid sessions at the CICG (Geneva) (24-28 April).
