GIS tools play a key role in helping find solutions to global societal challenges

Why? Data needs to be easily understood by all to make better informed decisions at all levels
Purpose - Using this layer to compare with health expenditures to see if there's a visual relationship with the percent of forest area and health care costs. Looking to see if health care costs rise as forest are percent lowers.

Why is Openness Important?
Openness is fundamental in helping achieve SDG 2030 aims

Making Geospatial education and opportunities
accessible to all
“Geo for All”
![Page 11: Open Principles in GeoEducation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58cefd241a28abab738b5eb1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Education + Empowerment = GeoForAll
![Page 12: Open Principles in GeoEducation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58cefd241a28abab738b5eb1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
There are many dimensions to “Open”
• Open source software.
• Open data.
• Open standards.
• Open access to research publications.
• Open education resources
But fundamentally GeoForAll is based on Open Principles
![Page 13: Open Principles in GeoEducation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58cefd241a28abab738b5eb1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
An example of the impact of Openness - GODAN
Impact is the positive changes to the lives of people

Hunger
• For the first time in human history, the knowledge to end hunger exists on Earth
• 800 million people struggle with debilitating hunger and malnutrition
• We need to find solutions beyond MORE food. Nutritionally sensitive agriculture is essential for global public health and wellbeing
• We are convinced that the solution to closing this unacceptable hunger gap lies within harnessing and opening agriculture and nutrition data
• “location” relevant data plays an important role

Nepal Earthquake 2015 – GeoForAll colleagues globally came together to help with relief efforts
We are especially grateful for the work and relief efforts done after the terrible earthquakes by our colleagues in OSGL
Kathmandu University lead by Dr Shashish Maharjan. Their whole team along with many students and volunteers
were key in helping the recovery efforts. They have been carrying out many activities from piloting of household
surveys for detail earthquake assessment

Openness – Increasing quality through peer review
Open Source Software
Source code remains in the public domain
free for all to use, change and (re)distribute
Development done in public usually by a community (distributed, informal team of developers)

June 2010
“Geo for All” started from very humble beginnings
Aim – Build research and teaching infrastructure worldwide
Problem – No initial funding!
Biggest Strength – amazing support from colleagues and students

Why - Social ResponsibilityMaking resources including software and
data openly available offers an opportunity for knowledge to be shared widely so as to
increase learning opportunities. Example – Collaborating with educational initiatives like gvSIG Batoví

Maturity of open source software (for
ex. OSGeo stack)
Open Data
Ability for showing the operation of general laws
is fundamental for scientific research

Vision 2030Science should always be open
Geospatial Science should be fully build on Open PrinciplesTransparency of research is fundamental (no black boxes or proprietary barriers).
Geospatial Science = Open Geospatial Science
Open Geospatial Labs are being established worldwide to scale up research and teaching globally as part of the ICA-OSGeo MoU http://bookshop.europa.eu/en/open-innovation-open-science-open-to-the-world-pbKI0416263

Represents the individual content
creator on the World Wide Web
Why- Open Geospatial Science
helps in empowerment of staff and students capacity building developing creative and open minds in students which is critical for building open innovation contributes to building up Open Knowledge for the benefit of the whole society and for our future generations.
