Tackling climate change

Climate change is the greatest challenge that humanity will face in the 21st century. It‘s a geographic problem and solving it will take a geographic solution. Thanks to the advancement of geospatial technologies, it’s now faster, easier, and more cost effective to monitor and manage environmental changes. Location data is key in the fight against climate change and meeting sustainable development goals.

Monitor, predict and prevent environmental degradation, including deforestation


Provide food security, giving people access to safe and nutritious food


Prepare for and respond quickly to national disasters, and manage crises efficiently


Investing in your nation’s geospatial capabilities means you can:

  • Understand how climate change impacts different sectors and regions in your country.
  • Make informed decisions about how to mitigate its impacts.
  • Make smart investments that maximise environmental benefit.
  • Demonstrate the results of these decisions to citizens and investors.
