Covering just 800 square meters, Egg Island is a tiny uninhabited patch at thenorthwest end of the long chain of islands that form the Eleuthera archipelago,about 70 km from Nassau, Bahamas.Its name perhaps originates from the seabird eggs collected here.The image, which Sentinel-2B captured on 2 February 2018, shows the sharpcontrast between the beautiful shallow turquoise waters to the southwest and thedeeper darker Atlantic waters to the northeast.Ripples of sand waves created by currents stand out in the shallow waters. Theseshallow waters are a natural nursery for sea turtles and other sea life.Any disturbance to this delicate ecosystem could spell disaster for wildlife. In fact,Egg Island was recently at risk of being developed as a cruise ship port, whichwould have meant dredging the seabed and destroying coral reefs. Fortunately, thisplan didn’t take hold because of the damage it would cause to the environment.Credits: Copernicus Sentinel (2018), processed by European Space Agency

United Nations Office forDisaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)Geospatial ActivitiesThe United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction(UNDRR) is the United Nations focal point for disasterrisk reduction, overseeing the implementation of theSendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030.UNDRR supports countries in the implementation,monitoring and sharing of risk reduction strategies tominimize existing risk and prevent the creation of new risk.Geospatial information is key to the implementation of theSendai Framework as recognized by the United NationsGeneral Assembly in 2019 in its resolution on DisasterRisk Reduction which included a paragraph which “ recognizes the endorsement by the Economic and SocialCouncil on 2 July 2018 of the Strategic Framework onGeospatial Information and Services for Disasters, asa guide for Member States to ensure the availabilityand accessibility of quality geospatial information andservices across all phases of disaster risk reductionand management, and which contributes to theimplementation of the Sendai Framework”.UNDRR is strengthening disaster loss accounting globallyto support country assessments of hazard risk, and alsoto ensure a country has in place a comprehensive andcredible accounting system for recording and reportingdisaster events. This builds on the support UNDRR hasbeen providing to Member States for over 20 years inthe implementation of national disaster loss accountingsystems. Such systems support the countries’ assessmentof risk, provide essential information for the developmentof DRR strategies and investment decisions at the localand national levels, as well as facilitate the reporting onprogress of the implementation of the Sendai Frameworkby ensuring countries have compiled the disaster loss dataneeded to report through the Sendai Framework Monitor,which countries use to report progress against the agreedglobal targets and indicators.10BLUEPRINT GEOSPATIAL LANDSCAPE OF THE UNITED NATIONS SYSTEMThe “SFM Analytics” module of the online SendaiFramework Monitoring system gives open access tomultiple forms of analysis of Member States’ validated data.Furthermore, as per the UN Statistical Commission’srecommendation, UNDRR is working with UN StatisticsDivision and UN Regional Commissions on a globalframework for disaster-related statistics that wil
