La meta de ONU-SPIDER es la de cerrar la brecha entre la comunidad que dedica sus esfuerzos a la tecnología satelital y las comunidades que enfocan la gestión integral del riesgos y la respuesta en caso de emergencias o desastres. Acá se hace referencia a las empresas que se dedican a proveer acceso a los servicios que hacen uso de satélites incluyendo las telecomunicaciones vía satélite y los expertos en percepción remota y por otra parte a los expertos en gestión integral de riesgos y protección civil, los que trabajan en la academia, los tomadores de decisión en caso de desastres, etc. Como parte de estos esfuerzos, ONU-SPIDER compila y disemina de manera regular noticias y eventos de estas comunidades.
