Join the UN-GGIM: Europe webinar - UN-GGIM: Europe Webinar -Toolbox for implementing the UN-IGIF: A practical discussion on putting the framework in action. The webinar will be held on 23 April 2024, 12:30 – 14:30 (CEST).

The overall aim of the webinar is to enhance the knowledge and understanding about the existing approaches to implementing the UN-IGIF. It will provide an overview of the tools available to help strengthen national geospatial capabilities – such as developing detailed Country-Level Action Plans or adapting specific elements of the nine Strategic Pathways. Elements of these approaches can be adopted depending on a country’s situation, in terms of stakeholder collaboration, funding, expertise, needs, or data availability. This webinar builds on the previous webinar: An introduction to the United Nations Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF) on 27 Sep 2023.
