Leaving No One Off The Map: A Guide For Gridded Population Data For Sustainable Development

In Leaving No One Off The Map: A Guide For Gridded Population Data For Sustainable Development, we present an overview, analysis, and recommendations for the use of gridded population datasets in a wide range of application areas, such as in disaster response, health interventions, and survey planning. Specifically, the report compares seven gridded population datasets from the POPGRID Data Collaborative, including an analysis of the underlying data, methods and basic assumptions, and the corresponding strengths and limitations of each dataset in simple terms.

How can open access to earth imagery help predict disease spread or identify solutions to toxic waterways? The Landsat program–the longest-standing continuous global record of the Earth’s surface through satellite imagery–has enabled these and other solutions in support of people, planet, and prosperity since its launch in the 1970s.
