) (to coincide with World Refugee Day [June 20])

Type: Online, Intermediate

Audience: Government ministries, international agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academics, and researchers involved in humanitarian response and decision support activities

Trainers: Sean McCartney, Jamon Van Den Hoek & TBD

Description: This training will focus on measuring flood risk in refugee/IDP settings, gauging long-term heat stress in refugee camps, tracking drought effects on agricultural landscapes in refugee settings, and monitoring landslide risks in humanitarian contexts.

Motivation: Refugees, IDPs, and other displaced populations are made more vulnerable to climate change impacts due to their socio-political marginalization. This training makes concrete strategies for mapping localized climate conditions and risks faced by refugee and IDP communities around the world.

Satellites/Sensors/Tools/Datasets: Landsat 8 OLI, Landsat 9 OLI2, Sentinel-1 C-band SAR, Sentinel-2 MSI, TRMM/ JavaScript Earth Engine, Python Jupyter notebooks/Google Colab and Google Earth Engine

Partnering Organizations: Oregon State University

Motivation*

Refugees, IDPs, and other displaced populations are made more vulnerable to climate change impacts due to their socio political marginalization. Recent EO-driven research that recognizes this has made progress towards characterizing the manner and magnitude of climate-related risks in humanitarian (refugee and IDP) settings. However, we still lack a cohesive evidence base informed by EO data to guide effective science, policy, and implementation strategies aimed at reducing climate-related disaster risks in both short and long terms. This training makes concrete strategies for mapping localized climate conditions and risks faced by refugee and IDP communities around the world.

By the end of this training attendees will be able to:

Develop a workflow of EO applications to address problems of great concern for humanitarian settings around the world
Recognize opportunities and shortcomings of specific EO and geospatial datasets for climate risk and development indicators in humanitarian settings
Incorporate EO, geospatial, and demographic data to localize climate risk in specific settings
