Remote Sensing- Geographical Information System (RS-GIS)
based
Climate and Disaster Risk Resilience Decision Support System
An interactive web-based tool for automating the preparation
of climate change assessment reports for projects
Sector-specific indicators
Identify a project’s or project component’s exposures/ sensitivities to changing climate Recommend management actions to address significant risks
!
Hazards, exposure, vulnerabilities, risk, and impact (HEVRI) maps
Produce an initial climate change assessment report
Initially populated with data from Bangladesh, Maldives, and Sri Lanka
Data from Bhutan, India, and Nepal are being collected, reviewed, and processed
NEXT STEPS
Improving the current national/regional databases and overall
design
working with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Climate Center
Preparing the system’s guidelines, manual, summary brochure, and/ or quick reference guide; and conducting seminars and training programs
Downscaled regional
climate datasets
with World Climate Research Programme’s CORDEX South Asia
Enhanced geospatial
analysis
with SDCC’s SPADE
