Climate and EO data for international support and sustainable recovery

This Task Group supports project and resource developments in the community through sharing learning, capacity building and augmentation of tools and data products.

Purpose

This is a technical group with a focus on providing bespoke support, expertise and service products to users working in the area of green recovery, resilience and sustainable development. Space4Climate is able to support international partners in resilient recovery efforts by coordinating UK expertise and infrastructure resources for partners’ national and international recovery and resilience projects.

Objectives include:

Develop a menu of S4C member products, services and expertise in deployment of data and expert knowledge to international aid resilience and recovery climate services.

Support development of projects and resources in the community through sharing of learning outcomes. This includes identifying where there is potential for capacity-building through training and infrastructure access as well as re-purposing and augmentation of existing tools and data products to meet emerging user requirements.

Through partnerships and case studies, develop targeted approaches to exploiting climate data from space that are specific to the needs of end user groups.

Task 1: scope and map current and emerging relevant climate EO capability for three pilots with the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data as part of their Combating the Covid19 pandemic in Africa programme

Task 2: development of a prototype /content for training for identified case studies. Scope possibilities for leveraging UK infrastructure and remote data access – for example for remotely hosted services.
