IGIF Country-Level Action Plan for Germany (original english version)

Date 2022.05.19

The international group of experts in geospatial information of the United Nations UN-GGIM has developed a global guideline "Integrated Geospatial Information Framework" (IGIF) to further develop, integrate and strengthen global geospatial information management. The BKG, in cooperation with the Spatial Data Infrastructure Germany (GDI-DE), has described how the IGIF is to be implemented nationally in the "IGIF Country-Level Action Plan for Germany". This recommends four new IGIF actions with an international perspective in addition to the existing action plans. One example of such an action is to promote the importance of geospatial information in order to make better, fact-based decisions. In this way, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda can then be achieved, among other things.
