The recent visit of the Secretary-General to the UNOSAT team set the tone of the new management phase at UNOSAT, which is now a recognised centre of excellence within the United Nations system in the areas of satellite analysis and geospatial information. While the visit of the Secretary-General confirms this recognition and is a reward to the staff, it also shows the gradual gain of importance of satellite derived information for the work of the UN. UNOSAT has spearheaded innovation in satellite analysis since its creation in 2000.

2021年3月18日・広島 - 近年では政治、文化及び社会経済分野における女性の活躍の場と範囲が広がりを見せていますが、国際女性デーは、20世紀の始めに女性労働者が労働条件の改善を求めたデモが起源だと言われています。ロシアでは3月8日は女性の日として1917年に公式な休日として制定されました。国連が正式に国際女性デーを制定したのは1977年。それ以降3月8日は世界的に女性の生き方を考え、活躍を称える日となりました。この100年間で働く女性は飛躍的に増え、役割も多様化しています。しかしながら、ジェンダー平等に関する課題は山積みです。
ジェンダー平等と女性のエンパワーメントは持続可能な開発（SDGs）の目標5にも掲げられている重要な要素の一つです。また、分野横断的課題としてその他の16の目標にも関連しています。しかしながら、STEM（科学・技術・工学・数学）教育を含む多くの分野でジェンダー平等の実現に向けた動きは停滞しています。UN Womenによると全世界の女性研究者の割合はわずか30％。STEM分野を勉強している女子学生は分野全体の35％です。また、STEM分野の女性研究者は男性に比べ調査研究の発表数が少なく、低賃金で昇進しにくいという最近の調査結果もあります。STEM教育は私たちの未来を築く重要な基礎です。新型コロナウイルス感染拡大でデジ...

The work of UNOSAT is not only about emergencies, although the maps you can see on the web all refer to humanitarian assistance. This publication policy is linked to the need for humanitarian workers to access maps from various field locations by simply connecting via internet or via satellite telecommunications to download the maps prepared by UNOSAT on the premises of CERN. Yet a large number of maps and analyses are not publicly available on the UNOSAT website because they are part of project activities done in partnership with UN agencies like UNDP (development), IOM (m...
