To address many of the resource, disaster and development challenges ASEAN member countries face, ESCAP, as secretariat of the Regional Space Applications Programme for Sustainable Development (RESAP), is taking the initiative to connect space agencies and related stakeholders with end-users seeking benefits from geospatial information applications. RESAP has leveraged and integrated innovative technologies by supporting member States through building capacity in using space science, technology and their applications for disaster management and sustainable development. This work contributes to implementing the Asia–Pacific Plan of Action on Space Applications for Sustainable Development (2018–2030), a regionally-coordinated, inclusive and detailed country-needs driven blueprint that harnesses space and geospatial applications, as well as digital innovations to support countries, particularly those with special needs, to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda. ASEAN countries benefit from the capacity building efforts of ESCAP in the use of GIS and space applications provided by contributing countries and UN partners to enable government officials to develop their skills to utilize these tools over the long term. Additionally, ESCAP provides ASEAN member countries with knowledge products and research on geospatial applications. Space applications can provide far-reaching solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing humanity. The United Nations has an important role to play in supporting these efforts through regional cooperation and in linking these national efforts to the global agenda.
