In the light of the International Map Year (IMY), the ICA and its commissions are highlighting the value of cartography by “mapping” the UN sustainable development goals.

The sustainable development goals and their targets can be mapped based on the indicators. ICA’s Commissions have mapped each of the goals from their particular perspective. The resulting poster collection gives an overview of the strength of cartography. It is telling the story of cartographic diversity, of mapping options and of multiple map perspectives.

Poster made by the Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies is about the Goal 10 (Reduced inequalities) and gvSIG appears as an important tool applied to educational environments.
