What is Global Map
Digital geographic dataset of Global coverage Consistent specifications Worldwide open distribution
Expected application: Analyses for solving global environmental
problems Monitoring activities for environmental
change at global level

Who is making Global MapsNMOs (National Mapping Organizations) are assumed to make Global Maps for their countries Support scheme available for those who are difficult in ma
king Global Maps by themselves Global Maps are open to public through the Web ( www.i

History of Global Mapping1992 UNCED Adoption of “Agenda 21”
Global Mapping Concept proposed by Japanese Government1996 Establishment of International Steering Committee1997 Rio+5(UN General Assembly Special Session) necessity of Global Mapping included in the adopted “Progr
amme for the further implementation of Agenda 21”2000 Release of Global Maps through the Internet2002 WSSD Adopted “Plan of Implementation” called for initiatives and
partnerships for global mapping 2007 Whole land of the Earth to be covered by Global Maps

Implementation Plan of WSSD
132. Promote the development and wider use of earth observation technologies, including satellite remote sensing, global mapping and geographic information systems, to collect quality data on environmental impacts, land use and land-use changes, including through urgent actions at all levels to:
(a) Strengthen cooperation and coordination among global observing systems and research programmes for integrated global observations, taking into account the need for building capacity and sharing of data from ground-based observations, satellite remote sensing and other sources among all countries;
(b) Develop information systems that make the sharing of valuable data possible, including the active exchange of Earth observation data;
(c) Encourage initiatives and partnerships for global mapping.

Implementation Plan of WSSD
133. Support countries, particularly developing countries, in their national efforts to:
(a) Collect data that are accurate, long-term, consistent and reliable;
(b) Use satellite and remote-sensing technologies for data collection and further improvement of ground-based observations;
(c) Access, explore and use geographic information by utilizing the technologies of satellite remote sensing, satellite global positioning, mapping and geographic information systems.

Current Status of Global Mapping
132 countries and regions participate ( 83% of the global land area coverage)
18 countries ( 13% of the global land area coverage ) already released Global Maps 2000 : Japan, Lao P. D. R., Nepal, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, 2001 : Australia, Bangladesh, Colombia,
Mongolia, Philippines. 2002 : Panama, Kenya 2003 : Burkina Faso, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz, Mexico,
Myanmar. ※ With data for verification phase ( 37 countries and regions ) , 51% of the global land are being covered.

Relation between Earth Observation and GM
Activities in Earth Observation Community Close relation with CEOS/WGISS from 1998 Global Mapping is registered as WSSD
Partnership in which ISCGM and CEOS are involved
CEOS WSSD Follow-up Module5 is “Global Mapping, Land-use Monitoring and GIS“
Participation in GEO activities
GM and EO are mutually dependent Benefits of Global Maps in Earth Observation
iscgm.org
Activities of ISCGM at GEO
ISCGM is Participant of GEO from GEO4 Contribution in documentation, meeting
Side event at GEO4 Seminar on Global Map including
presentation by JAXA Collaboration with IGOS-P on water theme Panel display

Benefits of Global Maps in Earth Observation
: Platform for Spatial Data Analysis Common Geographic Datasets to be
available in each country, including Developing Countries
Avoid duplicated investments in making Geographic Datasets.
: Integrate Physical and Socio-Economic data Global Maps link physical data with socio-
economic data, leading to value-added application of earth observations.

Future of Global Map and EO
GM Future :Completion of data development by 2007
(Target set in the document of WSSD Partnership)
Update approximately every 5 yearsBase of integration for EO data
CEOS/WIGSS is critical partner of GM to attain goals described above
Thank you !
iscgm.org
JAXA is planning…
All ISCGM data to put on JAXA WMS, WFS server or other volunteers as base map for many use cases.It could be CEOS/WGISS and ISCGM collaboration!!
