UNOOSA Logo

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) technologies are now ubiquitous in everyday life: they are incorporated in electronic devices and are used by the public, surveyors, and geoscientists on a regular basis. In developing countries in particular, GNSS applications offer cost-effective solutions that make it possible to foster economic and social development without neglecting the need to preserve the environment, thus promoting sustainable development.

Integrated Drought Management: Monitoring and Early Warning

This is event is available for participation on an ongoing basis
CapNet Drought Course

While drought is a recurring and natural climatic phenomenon, climate change is increasing temperatures and evaporation as well as disrupting rainfall patterns, increasing the frequency, severity and duration of droughts in many regions.

A proactive, integrated approach to drought management is essential. Three pillars need to be considered to ensure a successful drought policy and implementation:
