Strengthening regional cooperation in geospatial data sharing for mitigation of COVID-19 pandemics

15 May 2020
9:30-11:00 am (UTC+7, Bangkok time)

Geospatial information can play an essential role in monitoring and analyzing the impact of COVID-19, as well as supporting the response and recovery of COVID-19. ESCAP, as the UN-GGIM-AP Secretariat, together with the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC) and the Asia-Oceania Group on Earth Observation (AOGEO) will discuss how geospatial information can be best utilized to tackle the COVID-19 outbreak and potential future pandemics through enhanced regional cooperation. The webinar will aim to highlight good practices and lessons learned from countries in the Asia Pacific region, and consider how countries and regional organizations can strengthen collaboration to develop capacity to map health risk hotspots and mitigate potential risks using geospatial information and big data.
