About the Course

Today large amount of satellite imagery and geospatial data collected from different sources is available at free of cost. Satellite imagery combined with power of Geographic information System can be a great tool for supporting environmental management, disasters, global climate change, natural resources, wildlife, land cover and many other applications.

This is event is available for participation on an ongoing basis

Global warming, loss of biodiversity, food insecurity, pollution - the situation regarding the health of our planet is as serious as it is complex. Major global shocks have shown our vulnerability and set back the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The global community noticed that our collective problem-solving mechanisms do not match the pace or scale of the challenges we face. Today's complex, interconnected, and rapidly changing world requires a more effective multilateral system and strong inclusion of effective innovative tools.
