Speaker
Description
Copernicus is the European Earth observation program, Europe's eyes on Earth. It provides various services that help researchers, scientists, governments, the private sector and academia to cope with climate risks.
In this talk, I will share RedCLARA's experience in building an Earth observation strategy that has allowed the Copernicus Academy to build capacities and skills around Earth observation issues for Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe through training, pilots and innovation activities (a strategic Ideathon and a successful Hackathon that involved 300 key participants from Europe and Latin America) that showcase the experience of each region and promote bicontinental collaborative work to identify common challenges and create solutions.
A great work that will show the use, applicability and impact that BELLA infrastructure allows for both regions.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk
The audience will learn about Europe's Earth Observation Program which targets disasters in different regions such as wildfires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods, and how to work collaboratively and cooperatively between Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe to build a more sustainable and resilient world.
