Abstract

The UN 2030 Agenda is a global strategy on sustainability of developments by humankind for the years 2016-2030. Its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are to be implemented by monitoring processes using the properly selected targets and indicators. Hungary is a partner country in 2030 Agenda implementation. Geographic location is defined as one of the fiducial characteristics by which the SDGs indicators should be disaggregated when the SDGs progression is examined. This is the reason the Geoinformation (GI) and Earth observations (EO) are considered in technical, juridical, institutional, national and international constitutions of the 2030 Agenda. Started in February 2017, SDGs awareness raising campaign was executed by the authors, volunteer members of the Hungarian Society of Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing (MFTTT) to mobilize and share knowledges, expertise, technologies and services and to promote public, private and civil partnerships for the Hungarian geospatial stakeholder community. This campaign became an MFTTT achievement, i.e. our clear contribution to implement targets 17.16 and 17.17 of the SD Goal 17 to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the partnership. After giving an introduction and expounding the topic actuality, the article presents the way which led to a more complex strategy of saving our future, namely to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The content of SDGs, its spatial data aspects as well as the relevant UN structure, the international forums assigned to and the GI/EO related organizations involved are shortly introduced. Separate chapter is divided to analyse the SDGs impact on the GI/ EO communities and to cite examples on how the kinds of GI/EO data may serve individual SDGs. Next chapter describes the institutional and juridical background of the implementation of SDGs in Hungary, including the governmental organizations, the professional civil societies and the National Sustainable Development Framework Strategy. Then examples are given on basic and thematic geospatial data handy for SDGs, and relevant geospatial organizations playing role in SDGs are enumerated. It is also discussed how our geospatial data are or are not colligated in national spatial data infrastructure (NSDI). In chapter 7 our multi-stakeholder awareness raising campaign is demonstrated consisting of 8 presentations at professional stakeholder forums, an action with the Hungarian Good State project and the liaison reports to GSDI, two CEOS WGISS plenaries, GEO EO4SDGs Team. Also, we published an article in the MMM-GI international journal to share the MFTTT results on awareness raising campaign in Hungary. Chapter 8 presents challenges and deficiencies. After some acknowledgements authors recommend the MFTTT to continue his civil society stakeholder activity in SDGs. Reduction of the Hungarian NSDI obstacles cannot be delayed: the Agency responsible for NSDI is expected to prepare and the Government is demanded to finalise juridical measures for NSDI constitution. The Agency responsible for NSDI is strongly advised to enter in cooperation with the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH) with purpose of the statistical and spatial data integration for SDGs. Authors recommend the MFTTT to initialize cooperation with the Hungarian Space Office (MŰI) to enhance his Earth Observation Information System project (FIR).
