DPL00020: Data driven solutions to land management and climate change adaptation

PROJECT OVERVIEW

FI terrestrial ecosystems are unique and sensitive to changes in land use and climate change. Recognizing these challenges, and given farming is the very fabric of FI community, a growing desire exists for data driven solutions to facilitate innovation and sustainable land management and climate change adaptation. We will work toward solving these challenges through a locally driven project, which brings together existing data and data tools and harnesses technological solutions for land management and climate change adaptation. 

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Consolidate data and data tools that can support effective land management and climate change adaptation
Demonstrate through a literature review how individual data sets and tools relate to land management and climate change adaptation
Identify a range of land management and climate change adaptation projects
Identify any key data gaps
Hold a workshop with FIG to disseminate the project findings, and to identify and prioritize projects that will progress sustainable land management and climate change adaptation and resilience

Adaptation toolkit directory: This external directory is a tool that brings a wealth of information together from data, training and webGIS for climate change adaptation planning, and monitoring.
