SUMMARY:Geospatial data 
DESCRIPTION:Geospatial information is vital for national development\, po
 licy and decision-making\, programs and projects\, and to achieve sustai
 nable social\, environmental and economic development. While geospatial 
 information is able to be presented in many forms and mediums\, its main
  strength is that it provides the integrative platform for all digital d
 ata that has a location dimension to it. Collaborative information syste
 ms that are comprehensive\, coordinated\, and integrated\, underpinned b
 y geospatial information technologies and applications\, are providing t
 he evidence on where people interact with their place\, events and activ
 ities. With rapid digital transformation of society and economy\, issues
 \, challenges and opportunities related to the acquisition\, availabilit
 y\, accessibility and application of geospatial information\, are common
  and experienced across various levels of society\, government and econo
 my. The need for sound and enabling policy and legal frameworks on geosp
 atial information management to address these issues has become more cri
 tical as the acquisition and application of geospatial data become incre
 asingly innovative and creative arising from new and emerging technologi
 es\, devices and solutions.\n\nSince 2017\, the UN-GGIM Working Group on
  Policy and Legal Frameworks for Geospatial Information Management\, has
  been actively developing mechanisms for Member States to address the co
 mplex issues related to geospatial information\, including custodianship
 \, authority and authoritative data\, open data\, personal data\, data p
 rivacy and confidentiality\, data licensing\, data security and geospati
 al data for public good. The panel shall discuss such activities\, expla
 in how the acquisition\, availability\, accessibility\, and application 
 of geospatial information can be addressed\, and how the UN-GGIM is supp
 orting Member States to that regard.\n
