Lantmäteriet 's participation in international organizations is large. Both international and European collaborations enable a more efficient implementation and follow-up of Agenda 2030.
Sub-goals 17.6 and 17.18
We mainly contribute to sub-goals 17.6 - Collaborate and share knowledge about science, technology and innovation and 17.18 - Support the collection and dissemination of reliable data.
UN-GGIM
Lantmäteriet is, among other things, Sweden's designated authority for participation in UN-GGIM. UN-GGIM is a UN initiative run by the member states and was formed to make joint decisions and establish guidelines for the production, availability and use of geospatial information.
UN-GGIM has a strong connection to Agenda 2030 through the use of geospatial information in the implementation of the agenda. Lantmäteriet also participates in UN-GGIM Europe.
UN-Habitat
UN-Habitat is the UN's program to create a better urban future. Habitat's role is to promote socially and environmentally sustainable development of housing and to achieve affordable housing for all.
In 2017, Lantmäteriet et.al. produced the national report for the implementation of the Habitat II agenda, which has a strong connection to Agenda 2030 through its focus on creating safer, healthier and habitable settlements and cities.
