Global Mapping Project
Scientific paper
The Global Mapping Project aims to develop and update geographic information on global land under the cooperative efforts of the International Steering Committee for Global Mapping (ISCGM) and the national mapping organizations (NMOs) of the entire world. With regard to activities for the promotion of the project, the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD; Johannesburg Summit) in 2002 was the most important milestone in gaining the world's awareness of the project regarding its importance for sustainable development. This paper reviews the outline of the project, summarizes activities mainly implemented after WSSD, and introduces problems the project currently faces and tasks being implemented. Finally, the paper concludes that continuous promotional efforts of the project, hand in hand with NMOs, in the areas of sustainable development, Earth observation and geographic information community, are indispensable for the completion of the Global Map by 2007, the goal set out at WSSD.
