1 Space Technology for Implementation of SDGs in the Pacific Region September 2016, Nadi, Fiji Tae Hyung KIM ICT and Disaster Risk Reduction Division (IDD) UNESCAP 1

2 Contents 1. What are SDGs? How different from MDGs? 2. How to Achieve SDGs? 3. Space Technology for SDG 4. Pacific s Future Plans

3 What are SDGs 17 SDGs implies 1. Qualitative development Rather than quantitative outputs such as GDP 2. Balancing needs of present and future generations Incorporating environment and disaster aspects

4 MDGs vs SDGs MDGs 1. Quantitative GDP 2. Fragmented 8 Goals 3. No indication for synergy and innovation SDGs 1. Qualitative Quality of life 2. Integration among 17 Goals 3. Need to think synergy and innovation

5 Philippines Poverty Head ( ) GDPPC: GDP per capita, Current USD Red line PHR: Poverty headcount ratio at $1.25 a day, % of population blue line

6 Indonesia Poverty Head ( ) GDPPC: GDP per capita, Current USD Red line PHR: Poverty headcount ratio at $1.25 a day, % of population blue line

7 SDGs Should Aims at 1. Innovative productivity in manufacturing and service Focusing on increasing returns of economic scale 2. New environment-friendly industry and service sector Ecologically efficient + economic efficient 3. Created new wealth should be equally distributed with social safety network Social net + high quality education + good housing + land planning + disaster-prior managing designs 4. Organic (systematic) social system integrating above three, should be developed

8 Key questions: Space and GIS for SD 1. What space tech and GIS applications mean in modern times? 2. How contribute to SDGs including disasters? 3. How contributes to innovation and synergy among SDG sectors beyond disaster sector? Innovation comes from convergence of two different merge. 4. How space tech and GIS can support better developing countries?

9 What Space Tech and GIS Provide 1. Add new view and information for decision making Socio economic data + geospatial data for decision making Enables both macro and micro views 2. Add innovation and explosive productivity Disaster, Agriculture, transport, urban, resource management, land planning.. 3. Add mobility and locations Using not only satellites and sensors, but also individual devices (smartphones, laptops) 4. How about convergence? Unknown ideas and new industry in future?

10 Trends of Data 1. Limited free or cheap access to geospatial data

11 Trends of Data

12 Space Technology for SDG Used for DRR, and for other areas Underground Facility Management Smartphone App for Tourist Map Land-Use Information Management Sources: Land Information System Austria (Top); TatukGIS (Bottom left); VisitPortugal (Bottom right)

13 Loon Project 20km from surface One balloon covers 40km2 13 balloons cover Sri Lanka

14 New Tech in Space and GIS

15 Case: South Korea and Google Google requested 1:5,000 scale geospatial data from South Korea for 1. Provision of world-wide map application service in Korea To not only Koreans, but also individual tourists 2. Provision of Google Map API to start-ups in Korea For business expansion of the start-ups For developing new and innovative industry

16 Case: South Korea and Google South Korea currently pending its response 1. Sensitiveness of sharing detailed geospatial data National security issue as the only divided nation 2. Korea s domestic GIS industrial ecosystem Difficulty in competing with Google s map-based services

17 Space Tech beyond Disaster 1. Space tech application is essential to effective DRR. 2. Use of space tech and GIS in Pacific is behind other regions. 3. Not only for DRR, more roles of space tech in SDG sectors. 4. In particular, contribution to innovation and explosive productivity.

18 What we can do together for Pacific 1. Provide knowledge and technologies 2. Capacity building training 3. Facilitate Ministries and Nations to work together 4. Draw Pacifica voices, plans and commitments 5. Connect with donors to listen Pacific voices and channel fund 6. Present Pacific voices to international/regional meetings Space leaders Forum Ministerial Conference on Space UNGGIM, RESAP,.

19 Hope to think more 1. Regional organizations may meet often and exchange ideas to make concrete actions for Pacific countries. 2. Pacific countries may make mid-term action plans based on priority and country conditions 3. Donor countries may put more weight on Pacific countries in design supporting programmes.
