Climate Action Technology Summit
September 6, 2024 | Pullman Aerocity, Delhi
Leveraging GIS Technology to Mitigate Climate Risks
The effects of climate change are being felt globally, with increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and shifting ecosystems. The urgency for climate action has never been greater. The challenge, however, is inherently geographic—climate impacts vary by location, and so must the solutions. This is where geospatial technology becomes indispensable.
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology provides the tools needed to visualize, analyze, and understand the complex risks posed by climate change. With GIS, organizations can gain critical insights that drive proactive and informed decision-making, helping to build climate resilience and safeguard our future.
Join us at the Climate Action Technology Summit under the theme Leveraging GIS Technology to Mitigate Climate Risks on September 6, 2024, during the Esri India User Conference. This session will delve into the power of GIS to tackle climate challenges, offering you insights to understand and address important challenges such as climate change, public health, and social equity.
This session is designed for policymakers and professionals across all sectors who are committed to making a tangible impact in the fight against climate change.
