The UNECE Working Party on Land Administration, jointly with the Colegio de Registradores de la Propiedad, Mercantiles y de Bienes Muebles de España organized this webinar on the benefits and challenges of open data policies. These policies are essential for supporting sustainable development, solving societal challenges and enabling innovation. However, it is important to articulate mechanisms that prevent fraud and guarantee adequate protection of personal data with open data.

Under the umbrella of the Scenario Study on Future Land Administration in the UNECE Region, this webinar focused on the debate to what extent land registry information should be made open, considering aspects such as the complexity of the information, the protection of personal data and the risk for fraud. The presentations discussed different perspectives including examples from the UNECE region.
