E learning platform/resource for Mainstreaming Climate Resilience

E-learning Platform Key Messages • To manage climate risks (and opportunities) we need to embed climate services into

projects and programs.

• These climate services must be customized to meet the needs of end users, and must be ‘quality’ assured and provided in a timely manner. There is a need to work through the value chain - going from data to delivery.

• These services are best conceived and designed into projects at early stages of development, and through upstream user engagement.

Audience • Policy makers • Development practitioners • Project Managers • Climate service users/providers

Integrating Satellite EO into Climate Resilience Practices and Climate Smart Planning

Select a climate-impact area to show examples of how Satellite EO can help make better climate adaptation and mitigation decisions:

Flooding

Drought

Soil erosion

Infrastructure Damage

Coastal erosion & saline intrusion

Landslides

Agricultural Pests

Vector-borne Diseases

Habitat & Biodiversity Loss

Typical EO Data Sources: Spatial Resolution: Optical: • Corona KHA • Landsat MSS / TM / ETM • Resourcesat-1 (IRS P6) • LISS III • RapidEye Elevation: • ASTER / ASTER DEM • WorldDEM

4 to 24 meters

Accuracy:

2 – 3 meters vertical 1 – 2 meters horizontal

Data Refresh/Revisit time: 16 to 24 days Archive data based on availability

Data Acquisition Cost:

Free and commercial data available

Benefits: Landsat global coverage is available at free of cost.

Limitations: • Image availability (archive / programming) • Atmospheric conditions (clouds / haze)
