CLImbing for CLImate GEOspatial School CLIGEOS-2024

Introduction

CLIGEOS aims to emphasize spatial data analysis in environmental conditions of hill and mountain areas for sustainable tourism, utilizing geospatial technology. It seeks to raise awareness among stakeholders, including young scientists and professionals, about climate change, biodiversity protection, and sustainable tourism through spatial analysis.

Objectives

  • Promoting spatial data analysis for sustainable tourism
  • Fostering collaboration among stakeholders
  • Aligning with the UN's 2030 Agenda goals, particularly SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)
  • Advancing knowledge and practices in geospatial technology for addressing environmental challenges

Importance of the Event

CLIGEOS holds significance in raising awareness about climate change and environmental threats in hill and mountain areas, where vulnerabilities are pronounced. By promoting spatial data analysis and sustainable tourism practices, the event contributes to mitigating these challenges while fostering social and economic inclusion in peripheral areas. It serves as a platform for exchanging ideas, fostering collaboration, and advancing solutions for sustainable development.

Organising Institutions
