🌍❤️ DESCRIPTION
During this session, you'll hear 10 lightning talks featuring topics around using mapping tools for resilience and adaptation to the worst impacts of climate change.

Whether you're a researcher, a policy-maker, or a tech enthusiast, you'll gain valuable insights into the power of geospatial technology in combating climate-induced disasters. Learn how experts analyze floods, assess damage, and create actionable flood zonation maps. Or how humble beavers serve as ecological engineers. As well as discover how traditional fire management practices are being enhanced through cutting-edge satellite technology. Plus, find out about the tools and apps developed to visualize and manage these environmental challenges with precision and efficiency, as well as impactful agricultural conservation strategies
