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 Atlas of the Human Planet 2020 – Open Geoinformation for Research, Policy and Action will be launched on Thursday January 21, 15:00 (UTC+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris online.
The Atlas of the Human Planet 2020 is a deliverable of the GEO Human Planet Initiative and the JRC. It collects contributions from more than 100 users of the Global Human Settlement Layer data sets among decision makers, researchers and practitioners.
The event will feature presentations delivered by the authors of the showcases in the thematic areas of Disaster Risk Management, Urbanisation, Development, Environment and Sustainability. The second part of the event features a panel discussion where European and international policymakers will discuss the relevance and the challenges in global open geoinformation on settlements for policy and action and the road ahead.
