The FGEE of SWJTU Joining the UN-GGIM
Congratulations on the SWJTU membership to the United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) Academic Network!
To support and contribute actively to the capacity building and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 of China and the World, through fulfilling the responsibility membership of the Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU) in the UN-GGIM Academic Network, the Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering (FGEE) has now joined to the UN-GGIM World community (
http://unggim.academicnetwork.org/academic-network-members/).
SDGs are conceived for a wide range of issues in local, national, regional, and global contexts. These include the major development issues related to poverty, hunger, health, natural hazards, agriculture, education, and gender inequality. In addition, SDGs cover specific topics such as energy, infrastructure, economic growth and employment, inequality, cities, sustainable consumption and production, climate change, forests, oceans, and peace and security.
The global goals for sustainable development
We aim to support determining potential components for the SDGs 2030 strategic roadmap and recommendations for the national action plan. It is not possible unless we work together for learning and developing capacity building strategies for strengthening geospatial knowledge and impact across different domains.
Therefore, SWJTU is committed to contribute and support developing the architecture of GGIM with a strategic roadmap based on the global development policy of 2030 Agenda and beyond, through capacity building, and capacity development and strengthening education. We will work together to support the young generation in innovative and cutting-edge technologies and research in geospatial disciplines through the Academic Network and understanding of the problems with the help of the private industry sectors at the UN-GGIM Academic Network to enable SDGs implementation and achievements.
Let’s work together with better geospatial information and build a better world and future generations.
Thanks to Professor Abbas Rajabifard, the Chair of the UN-GGIM Academic Network and the Committee for the approval.
