This webinar aims to explore the impact of climate change on water management and demonstrate how Earth Observation (EO) and digital innovation can enhance climate resilience at a regional level. Through real-world case studies, participants will gain insights into how data-driven tools, best practices, and emerging technologies—such as early warning systems and predictive modeling—can help address climate risks, including droughts, floods, and extreme weather events.
Key Objectives & Expected Benefits:
Highlight the impact of climate change on water management.
Showcase how EO and digital innovation can help build place-based climate resilience.
Provide real-world case studies on climate-adaptive solutions.
Key Themes:
How data and digital innovation increase climate and water resilience for regions.
How tools and best practices support regions in addressing water and climate risks.
Climate risk & water resilience – Droughts, floods, extreme weather, and digital tools.
Digital technology & EO applications – Early warning systems, predictive modeling, and crisis response.
