This year’s workshop explores the use of geospatial technologies in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on building resilience of communities to disasters and climate change.
The SDGs were initially set in 2015, with the end date of 2030, which puts us at the halfway point towards these global goals. Monitoring our progress and finding points of improvement can be greatly reinforced by the latest advances in geospatial technologies (e.g. Geographic Information Systems, remote sensing, mobile apps). However, there is still a gap between the tremendous potential of geospatial technologies and practical decision- and policy-making. Not only can the immense realm of geospatial technologies seem daunting, it is also difficult to keep up with the pace of ever-evolving technologies. This workshop aims to address this gap by providing in-service education and intensive training for decision-makers and practitioners to assist in making better informed, data-driven decisions.
Furthermore, the workshop includes youth, so our future leaders can learn about the current best practices of evidence-based decision-making. The workshop is co-funded by the Open Society University Network (OSUN) and OSUN students and faculty can get financial support.
Theoretical presentations on geospatial innovations and their best-use practices will be followed by practical sessions on their application
