GIS for Sustainability | Science-rooted support starts here

Enabling a Smarter World

Location intelligence has guided the most successful sustainability projects in the last two decades. Listen to what its advocates say.

Five ways to actualise resilience

Applying the Science of Where to sustainability projects and missions enables you to do the following:

Understand need Map your work Measure impact Analyse performance Engage stakeholders

Understand need

Display where development or humanitarian assistance is needed in your area of operations.

Map your work

Express your plans and visualise the work you’ve accomplished contextually with maps.

Measure impact

Integrate mobile data collection tools that are easy to use, connect to the cloud and help you assess the impact of development and other factors faster.

Analyse performance

Evaluate the effectiveness of activities and investments with sophisticated analytics.

Engage stakeholders

Use interactive presentation and reporting tools as a “system of engagement” to demonstrate work accomplished.

Meet sustainability goals faster

Esri is committed to supplying geospatial tools and data to meet global sustainability goals. Location technology gives momentum to sustainability missions so you can meet global goals faster.

Our approach

This is a fantastic tool, radically speeding up the process of recording tree defects and for the first time giving us easy instant access to historic tree reports on site

Case Study

Ralph Hughes, GIS Manager, Sustrans

It wasn’t until we began the transition to ArcGIS that I began to understand just how transformational the solution would be. I realised that we would no longer be an organisation with a GIS team; we would be an organisation using GIS
