UNOOSA works to help all countries, especially developing countries, access and leverage the benefits of space to accelerate sustainable development. This is achieved through a variety of activities that cover all aspects related to space, from space law to space applications. The importance of the role of Earth Observation (EO) and geolocation (provided by GNSS) in supporting the achievement of the UN SDGs is of particular relevance. As the Director of UNOOSA Director, Ms. Simonetta Di Pippo, oversees and coordinates the strategic direction and operational priorities of the Office, including the preparation, monitoring and implementation of the work plan, budget and the strategic framework of the Office.
