Transforming Data to Action: Remote Sensing Platforms to Support Conservation Priorities

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
In this campus, participants will work with a diverse set of spatial data platforms that use remote sensing data for conserving biodiversity, natural resource management, and ecosystem services and will combine the wealth of knowledge that exists within the IUCN constituency with that of the spatial data community; no prior experience is needed.
HideDescripción
Earth observations can provide valuable input to international policy such as the Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) post-2020 Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, the UN Framework Convention to Combat Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. EO also contributes to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, Red List of Ecosystems, and Group on Earth Observations (GEO) initiatives. This campus will provide an overview of satellite remote sensing, specific applications, and hands-on demonstrations of how to use open source tools to inform conservation policy and management. Participants will gain an understanding of the advantages of diverse platforms to use satellite remote sensing data for the conservation of biodiversity, natural resource management, and ecosystem services. A partnership among the CEM, NASA, UNDP, The Nature Conservancy, Conservation International, and World Resources Institute will develop and conduct the course.
