A new development paradigm with equality and

sustainability as drivers of growth

ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM

Environmental crisis and climate changes Rising inequalities and exclusion

Extractivism, commoditization of developing countries, jobless growth with low productivity

Fragile economic stability

Big environmental push with carbon- free production and consumption Schumpeterian efficiency: Innovation- and learning-intensive sectors with jobs New social compact: universal access to basic goods and social protection Keynesian efficiency: expansion of aggregate demand and active fiscal policy sustainable economic growth

NEW DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM

The 2030 Agenda and the 17 SDGs

169 targets - 231 indicators “Leaving no one behind with equality front and centre”

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. Only multilateral cooperation can correct asymmetries and lay the foundations of an open and 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:
• bservatorios 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
• Where to concentrate social

programmes

• Where to protect the

ecosystems

• Where are the socio

environmental conflicts

• Where to locate infrastructure
• r schools

How to enhance the use of geography, the "where" of things, in the production and monitoring of sustainable development indicators

Disggregates data beyond "averages“, correlates variables in the territory

When we most sharpen our view of the territory, we best know the universe of values of a variable

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

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.“

Earth observation data on the production and monitoring of sustainable development indicators

use, to investigate the correlation between land consumption and population increase (SDG 11.3.1)

Implementing national plans for the generation of geospatial information, considering the requirements

• f 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

Towards the integration of statistical and geospatial information in Latin America and the Caribbean

QUESTIONNAIRE APPLIED IN OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2017

National Statistical Organizations National Geographic Institutes

To know if the process of integration of statistical and geospatial information has already begun in the countries , through an institution or under a structure or mechanism installed at the national level. Document existence, institutional aspects and basic specifications of geospatial data relevant to the process of integration between these and statistical data. Estimate the presence / importance of the geographical component in the production and dissemination of statistics, in its broad spectrum of thematic contents.
