TwitterThe guidance and associated data have been developed by the the United Nations Geospatial Information Section (formerly Cartographic Section) and should be intended as a practical implementation resource to ensure publication standards are met across the United Nations. In accordance with the Administrative Instruction of the Secretary-General of the United Nations (ST/AI/189/Add.25/Rev.1), and in particular "in view of the sensitive nature of cartographic documents,” users producing cartographic outputs must adhere to UN publication standards, referring to the "Guidance for the Publication of Maps" from the Geospatial Information Section of the UN (please find link for download in the Distribution section). The guidance provides the mandatory disclaimers, recommended policies, cartographic practices and representations, with particular attention to disputed areas and boundaries. The guidance document is confidential and is maintained as a courtesy to the United Nations Secretariat, and if applicable, the United Nations system. United Nations map (known as UNMap) is a worldwide geospatial database consisting of country and geographic name information on a global scale. Country names are based on the United Nations Terminology Database (UNTERM) following the names submitted by Member States to the United Nations Protocol and Liaison Office. The data is prepared to serve global mapping purposes, thus the relevant scale and purpose available are as follows: - Scale of 1:1 million suitable for mapping large provinces and small countries (e.g. Gambia) - Scale of 1:5 million suitable for mapping large countries (e.g. Sudan) - Scale of 1:25 million suitable for mapping the world FAO as UN Agency has been granted to consult the guidance and to access and use the associated geospatial information, provided that the data will not be redistributed outside the Organization.

TwitterMultispectral remote sensing data acquired by Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensor were analyzed using an automated technique to generate surficial mineralogy and vegetation maps of the conterminous western United States. Six spectral indices (e.g. band-ratios), highlighting distinct spectral absorptions, were developed to aid in the identification of mineral groups in exposed rocks, soils, mine waste rock, and mill tailings across the landscape. The data are centered on the Western U.S. and cover portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, the Canada-U.S. border, and the Mexico-U.S. border during the summers of 2013 – 2014. Methods used to process the images and algorithms used to infer mineralogical composition of surficial materials are detailed in Rockwell and others (2021) and were similar to those developed by Rockwell (2012; 2013). Final maps are provided as ERDAS IMAGINE (.img) thematic raster images and contain pixel values representing mineral and vegetation group classifications.

TwitterThis vector dataset contains FAO processed administrative boundaries from multiple sources, produced in 2022 for the Hand-in-Hand Initiative Geospatial Platform publishing. The data was sourced and processed from the United Nations second administrative level boundaries (UN-SALB) programme, complemented with Hand-in-Hand Initiative and geospatial platform data from official geospatial data producers. Country boundaries are processed against UN official recognized borders (UN-map 2018), administrative subdivision checked for geometry a topology, validated, and corrected. Attributes are standardized to the UN-SALB programme schema and coding system. Processed by UN-FAO-CSI AgroInformatics geospatial analysis team, the data is used for thematic mapping, geospatially enabled statistics location-based integration, and Hand-in-Hand geospatial analysis (GIS-MCDA, suitability/location analysis, agricultural typologies, zonal statistics extraction).

Please see sdgstoday.orgThe Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) aim to facilitate the sharing of experiences, including successes, challenges, and lessons learned, with the goal of accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. They also help to strengthen governments’ policies and institutions and mobilize multi-stakeholder support and partnerships for the Sustainable Development Goals. VNRs are country‐led, prepared by governments in a consultative, inclusive, and participatory process involving all sectors and levels of government, civil society, private sector, members of Parliament, and other institutions. The UN Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform collects key documents and information on countries that have participated in VNRs as part of their Voluntary National Reviews Database. This dataset represents the countries that have participated in VNRs since 2016. Further information on the process of conducting VNRs can be found in the Handbook for the Preparation of Voluntary National Reviews.

TwitterThis dataset represents the second-level administrative unit 'States' of Nigeria. The dataset was prepared by the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation, Federal Surveys of Nigeria in February 2022 to Second Administrative Level Boundaries (SALB) Program of United Nations. The reference scale for this Geospatial data is equivalent to 1:1,000,000 scale, or larger scale. Data was downloaded from UN-SALB site in June 2022, feature topology/geometry was corrected, international borders validated against the United Nations official borders (United Nations Geospatial Information Section - UN-Map 2018). The dataset is part of FAO's Hand-in-Hand (HiH) second administrative level boundaries 2022 dataset series, published on the HiH Geospatial Platform for thematic mapping, integration of geospatially enabled statistics, zonal statistics extraction, and used for HiH initiative geospatial analysis (GIS-MCDA, suitability/location analysis, agricultural typologies).

TwitterGlobCover is a European Space Agency (ESA) initiative which began in 2005 in partnership with the Joint Research Center, European Environmental Agency, UN Food and Agricultural Organization, UN Environment Programme, Global Observation of Forest Cover and Land Cover Dynamics, and International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme. The aim of the project was to develop a service capable of delivering global composites and land cover maps using observations from the 300 meter MERIS sensor on board the ENVISAT satellite mission. ESA makes land cover maps available covering 2 periods: December 2004 - June 2006 and January - December 2009. GlobCover products come with a thematic legend compatible with the UN Land Cover Classification System (LCCS).Data in this layer was generated using MERIS images which were classified using both a supervised (human-verified) and unsupervised (automated)classification algorithm applied at two different seasonal time steps to create land cover classes based on both spectral and temporal properties of land cover. The labeling procedure is automated and based on the GlobCover 2005 (v2.2) land cover map. Several decision rules have been defined with the help of international land cover experts to create unique labels for each class.
