Hear about diverse applications of geospatial technologies to address climate resilience, environmental change, and sustainable land management across global contexts. Presenters will showcase GIS‑enabled climate action planning tools, remote‑sensing analyses, urban heat modeling, and nature‑based flood mitigation planning. Collectively, these projects demonstrate how spatial data, community engagement, and interdisciplinary methods can drive more informed decision‑making for both contemporary and historical environmental challenges.
