The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. And its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cover a vast range of issues, including ending poverty and hunger, ensuring quality education and healthcare, achieving gender equality, promoting sustainable energy all with the aim of leaving no one behind and is monitored through a number of indicators at global, regional and national level. Indicators are classified into three levels based on the methodology and availability of data for their calculation. A numer of indicators supporting SDGs are based on digital technologies and geospatial data. Geomatics significally contribute to the develpment of SDGs and provide essential geospatial data and tools for sustainable development by enabling precise monitoring and management of Earth's systems, supporting informed decision-making in climate action, resource management, urban planning, and infrastructure resilience. Technologies like satellite positioning, remote sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to monitor environmental changes, document land ownership, manage natural resources, and ensure the sustainable development of infrastructure and communities, directly contributing to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research aims to present the role of Geomatics in the achievement and monitoring of SDGs through the measuring, processing and use of geospatial data.
Keywords: Geomatics, Geospatial Data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDG indicators.
