Through Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11, the UN proposes to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. A critical part of this SDG Goal is monitoring urban sprawl and access to green and public spaces as well as monitoring air quality in urban areas. NASA Earth observations can aid in assessing progress towards meeting these objectives.

Vector-borne diseases are responsible for over 17% of all the infectious diseases globally. Many of these diseases are preventable through protective measures, provided local authorities are aware of the potential outbreaks of the responsible vectors. This data pathfinder links to NASA datasets and tools that can aid with decisions regarding disease outbreaks that are often associated with environmental factors (seasonality, habitat suitability for vector, etc.) that NASA measurements can provide data to assess.
