The Sustainable Development Goals
Empowering Change through Geospatial Insight

In 2015, world leaders united behind 17 Global Goals, known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To translate these goals into tangible results, we recognise the importance of understanding 'what' is happening and 'where.' Leveraging cutting-edge geospatial analysis and Earth Observation, Alcis actively works towards achieving these goals and improving lives.

​

SDG 6 calls for universal access to safe and affordable drinking water and adequate sanitation. We use Earth Observation and Geospatial data to plan, monitor and measure water resources and their impact on communities and livelihoods.
