Challenges for society

When needs and problems are described from the perspectives of society and citizens the usefulness and consequences of different decisions, choices and priorities become clearer and easier to communicate.The strategy therefor takes its starting point from four important challenges for society where geodata and the actors in the geodata field can contribute to a sustainable society.

The four challenges

In the following chapters the four challenges are described together with the goals that the national geodata strategy aim for within each challenge. The goals can in certain cases be the same for more than one challenge. This is a conscious choice we have made with the ambition that each challenge should be read within its context.
