Earth Observation for Climate Risk Assessment

2-Day Online Workshop

Start integrating insights from earth observation data into funding decisions, investment strategies and risk management.

Insights from Earth Observation (EO) data play a key role to identify, measure, disclose, and manage climate risk. However, the landscape of Earth Observation data and products can be complex and hard to navigate.

Are you working in the insurance, management consulting or finance sector on climate-risk assessment or climate-related financial disclosures? Is your company considering integrating Earth Observation data into your analysis and decision-making? Then this course is for you!

This 2-day instructor-led online workshop helps you to get started and better navigate through the vast landscape of Earth Observation data and products that can be used for climate change-related risk assessment. We cover a range of free and open data, as well as several paid data platforms.

At the end of the two days, you started to become an informed consumer of climate-related data and you are empowered to make informed decisions on how to integrate insights from these datasets into funding decisions, investment strategies and risk management.
