Abstract: Commission III, WG III/IVa and Commission IVGeoinformation is a fundamental pillar of data science that has become relevant for its effectiveness in understanding the territory, understanding, monitoring and managing complex environmental, urban and social systems.Earth observation, photogrammetry, remote sensing, spatial data infrastructures and geospatial analysis are becoming more and more widely integrated and accepted in decision-making every day, as they support these decisions with evidence that helps disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, urban resilience and sustainable development.Through geospatial frameworks, interoperable data architectures or innovative analytical methods, governments are becoming increasingly accountable, as are other international organizations and research institutions, all of which require better information to face global challenges, as well as the interconnectedness of local phenomena.In the last 40 years, geoinformation has evolved in each of its facets from data capture and acquisition, processing, modeling and analysis, as well as the visualization and dissemination of information.This progress has been significant and can be obtained from multiple sources and scales, as well as dimensions (3D or 4D), through artificial intelligence or GeoAI.In addition, this data can be historical or captured in real-time monitoring systems, whose adoption is increasingly easy to find, accessible, interoperable and reusable.Despite all these advances, the reality is that there are still great challenges for geoinformation such as the efficient integration of heterogeneous data, semantic harmonization, analytical scalability, the ethical development of artificial intelligence, equitable access and quality of spatial data, etc.These challenges are particularly important and greater for regions of rapid urbanization, and with the most vulnerable populations.The Geoinformation Conference 2025 was conceived to address these challenges by convening an international and interdisciplinary community of researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students.The conference was jointly organised as the 26th National SELPER Mexico Congress, the 16th International Conference on Geoinformation for Disaster Management (Gi4DM), and the SELPER International XI Central America and Caribbean Geospatial Education Workshops.Held in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, from 24 to 28 November 2025, the event provided a forum for exchanging state-of-the-art research, operational experiences, and emerging ideas in geoinformation science.
