A new development paradigm with equality and sustainability as drivers of growth ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM NEW DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM Big environmental push with carbon- Environmental crisis and climate free production and consumption changes New social compact: universal access to Rising inequalities and exclusion basic goods and social protection Extractivism, commoditization of Schumpeterian efficiency: Innovation- developing countries, jobless and learning-intensive sectors with jobs growth with low productivity Keynesian efficiency: expansion of Fragile economic stability aggregate demand and active fiscal policy sustainable economic growth
The 2030 Agenda and the 17 SDGs It reflects the consensus of the 193 countries on the need to change the prevailing development pattern. It is universal, indivisible, integrated and civilizing call for reconciling policies to end poverty, achieve equality and ensure environmental stewardship. 169 targets - 231 indicators Only multilateral cooperation “Leaving no one behind with can correct asymmetries and lay the foundations of an open and equality front and centre” stable international system that imposes fewer restrictions on national decisions.
Six pillars for action and cooperation 1. Arquitectura nacional interinstitucional e intersectorial al más alto nivel 2. Integración de los ODS en los planes de desarrollo y en los presupuestos incluyendo inversión 3. Fortalecer capacidades estadísticas 4. Medios de Implementación: financiamiento, tecnología, comercio, rendición de cuentas 5. Fortalecimiento de la arquitectura regional: observatorios de género, de planificación, energía 6. Espacios de diálogo entre gobierno, empresas y ciudadanía
Why is territory and geography so relevant? 1. Geographical averages hide inequalites 2. Understanding our territory allows the design of indicators of poverty, inequality and welfare with an integrated approach 3. SDGs require a geographical interpretation at regional, national and subnational levels 4. Geographical information fosters productive synergies and natural resources governance 5. Geospatial information should help public policies to revert concentration of wealth and the lack of basic needs
The vision from the territory makes a difference: geography answers fundamental questions: any event happens “ somewhere ” • Where can cities be extended ENVIRONMENTAL URBAN • Where to concentrate social MANAGEMENT PLANNING programmes • Where to protect the ecosystems • Where are the socio environmental conflicts • Where to locate infrastructure LAND or schools ADMINISTRATION RISK MANAGEMENT 5th High High Level el Forum on on United Nations ns Glob obal al Geospati atial al Informati ation on Man anag agem ement ent Mexico City, 28 – 30 30 Novem ember er 2017 2017

Allows to differentiate and adjust the solutions to the same problem in different geographical contexts Families under the poverty line, in an identical socioeconomic situation, require differentiated attention when one of them lives in an urban center and the other in an isolated area
Geographical data are essential for an efficient planning Territorial analysis is fundamental to guide decisions and public policies that have the purpose of promoting this development in an equitable manner Fuente: prot.goredelosrios.cl 5th High High Level el Forum on on United Nations ns Glob obal al Geospati atial al Informati ation on Man anag agem ement ent Mexico City, 28 – 30 30 Novem ember er 2017 2017
Geospatial information and Earth observation data can contribute to monitor and implement Agenda 2030 • Indicator 8.3.1 "Proportion of informal employment in the non- agricultural sector, disaggregated by gender“. • Indicator 9.1.1 "Percentage of rural population living less than 2 km from a road • Indicator 11.7: “Shared participation of urbanized areas of cities in open spaces owned and used by the public.“

Implementing national plans for the generation of geospatial information, considering the requirements of the 2030 Agenda Based on the evaluation of the gaps and considering the national emphasis of sustainable development, establish strategies and plans to produce the necessary geospatial information

Road map towards the integration of statistical and geospatial information 1. Complete the diagnosis on the integration of geography and statistics 2. Produce an official document with the results and analysis 3. Prepare a regional strategic plan for the integration of geography and statistics and geospatial information based on the Global Geospatial Statistics Framework, Agenda 2030 and the Census Round 2020. 4. Promote national plans for the integration of geography and statistics 5. Establish a data base of best practices and national experiences in the integration of statistical, and geospatial information
INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL Seeking support in structures of transversal organization that propitiate the coordination of geospatial information at the national level.
