FIG Commissions and the Sustainable Development GoalsBelow the relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), targets and indicators for each FIG Commission are mentioned. FIG members can contribute to the SDG’s in two main ways. On the one hand they can create awareness and contribute to achieving the SDG’s and the specific targets. On the other hand they can collect relevant data to contribute to the measurement of the targets by using the indicators.To go directly to the individual Commissions SDG view, click on the links below:

14.5 By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information Commission 6FIG commission 6 “Engineering Surveys” gathers experts that deal with the production of data on the geometry and location, from large structures to small objects, either man-made or natural. In the domain of construction - the area that involves most surveying engineers - it is present in the development of new buildings or facilities and during their life cycle: it’s vital for the planning, the setting out of the design, the dimensional control and monitoring of deformations. The skills and the accuracy of the work presented, involved these professionals in projects assigned to other areas, ranging from mechanical and industrial engineering to environmental safety. Good results in engineering surveying, suitable for the purpose in view, are dependent on several factors: adequate equipment, appropriate methodologies and a motivated team with the necessary skills. These skills come from different sources: they can come from school education (at different levels) but also from the experience transmitted by the most knowledgeable co-workers. Thousands of surveying engineering teams are working in different parts of the world, many associated with projects that are of vital importance for the survival and well-being of populations (as examples, the supply of goods such as water, electricity or sewage systems, transport infrastructures and buildings such as hospitals or schools) in the lesser developed countries, small island developing States and African countries. This work, and the way it is developed, contributes to many of the sustainable development goals adopted by United Nations member states. Thus the most important SDG's for Commission 6 is: 6.1 By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all.

Commission 9The overall objective of Commission 9's work is to work towards improved transparency in the land markets. Real estate has an outstanding importance of the quality of living and working, the transparency of this market is of particular importance. Corruption, money laundering and white-collar crime are the more difficult the more transparent the market is. Banks reduce the risks of mortgage lending, the safer the development of property values can be, and the risks of a financial crisis are reduced if investors can be sure that the price of a property is not completely off the market. In addition, governments can use the data to make funding decisions for reducing soaring real estate prices. SDG 13 (Climate Action) is also part of it, because climate neutrality cannot be achieved without climate-neutral and sustainable construction and the related financing instruments (which in turn also include the evaluation of the price effects of climate-neutral buildings). We also have to look for partners for these goals within the valuation- and the land management scene. These communities are, especially in the Commission 9 area, most often also geographers, economists or sociologists. SDG 1: No Poverty SDG 2: No Hunger SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, Infrastructure SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities 11.1 By 2030, ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums.
11.3 By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries.
SDG 13: Climate Action SDG 17: Partnerships Commission 10SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure 9.4 By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities 11.3 By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries.
11.4 Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage.
11.7 By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities.
11.A Support positive economic, social and environmental links between urban, peri-urban and rural areas by strengthening national and regional development planning.
11.C Support least developed countries, including through financial and technical assistance, in building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials.
Young Surveyors Network (YSN) and Volunteer Community Surveyor Programme (VCSP)The team and volunteers of the FIG YSN Volunteer Community Surveyor Programme (VCSP), volunteers their time towards meeting almost each of the geospatial related SDGs. African Regional Network (ARN)Asia Pacific Regional Network (AP RN)Standard NetworkFIG Standard Netowork's role is mainly advising and supporting the Council and Commissions. In this capacity, all of the SDGs that are of interest to FIG are relevant to the Standards Network. All 17 of the SDGs is relevant to the Standards Network. Commission work related to the SDGs and requiring standards support, or involving standards, could conceivably be relevant to the Standards Network.
