A Belgian perspective

‘Improving access to geographical information and geospatial data, and

building capacities to use scientific information in areas such as climate monitoring, land use planning, water

management, disaster risk reduction, health and food security,

will allow for more accurate environmental and social impact assessments and more informed

decision-making at all levels.’
