The conference, themed “Informing Climate Change and Sustainable Development Policies with Integrated Data,” highlighted the increasing use of mobile phone data (MPD) to generate statistics, providing valuable insights into mobility patterns and supporting various applications such as transportation planning and policy evaluation. Key initiatives include using ground truth data for validation, generating synthetic datasets with techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and correcting biases in mobility indicators derived from Call Detail Records (CDRs). Future directions focus on automating MPD use within National Statistical Offices (NSOs), ensuring privacy, and securing ongoing funding for MPD projects.
