Damage assessment on World Heritage sites by UNOSAT

For the past twenty years, UNOSAT has been developing its expertise in using Geospatial Information Technologies to promote evidence-based decision-making for peace, security and resilience. UNOSAT was created in 2001 to support Member States, UN agencies, NGOs and international organizations. As an operational programme of the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), it provides coordinated geospatial analysis and develops capacities for geo-information technology to further the achievement of the SDGs. This includes documenting and raising awareness on the devastating impact hazards and conflicts can have on our World Heritage, and showing how geospatial information technologies and data can support efforts to preserve both cultural and natural sites.
