16 - Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions

SDG indicators are a global indicator framework for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and succeed the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) which ended in 2015. They include indicators and statistical data to monitor progress, inform policy and ensure accountability of all stakeholders for the 17 goals set by the United Nations. Data available is from the early 1990’s to present and covers economic and social development issues including poverty, hunger, health, education, social justice, water, sanitation and many more.

Analyse anything that moves.

The Location Analytics Service is a scalable solution for storing, indexing, querying, transforming, and visualising spatio-temporal data, offering the
capability to animate millions of entities in your browser.

Exploration and development

Explore data, develop analytics and build applications securely on the Global Platform. 

The Developers Service gives you access to code development and data exploration environments.

The developers service offers:

• Cloud-based workspaces and notebooks
• makes JupyterHub and Gitlab available over the web

Share and reuse trusted algorithms and methodologies.

The Methods service allows members of the Global Platform to find, use and publish methods and algorithms in the Cloud. For data scientists, it makes it easy to deploy algorithms and machine learning models that become API callable microservices.

Advances in small satellite and remote sensing technology are revolutionising the Earth Observation industry. They are providing critical new sources of consistent, continuous data for atmospheric, ocean and land use studies at a range of spatial and temporal extents.

The Earth Observation Service provides a solution to the increasing need to distil the underlying data from the visual and hyper-spectral imagery generated by these technologies into actionable information.
