Live Online GIS and Remote Sensing for Climate Change Impact Analysis and Adaptation Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 800
Floods, droughts and shifting rainfall patterns hit communities and infrastructure unevenly, and adaptation funding goes furthest when it is targeted using spatial evidence. You begin by mapping climate data, working with rainfall and temperature grids, climate projections, interpolation and trend analysis. Remote sensing sessions use satellite imagery to monitor vegetation health with NDVI, drought indices, land surface temperature, surface water extent and land use change over time. Impact assessment days build exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity layers into composite vulnerability and risk maps.
A dedicated session introduces AI and machine learning for climate analysis, including image classification and prediction using cloud-based geospatial platforms. The final day turns analysis into adaptation planning and decision support, from prioritizing interventions to communicating maps to policymakers and communities. Exercises follow a case study area through each stage of the workflow. Climate change officers, environmental planners, disaster risk reduction staff, agricultural and water specialists and researchers working in government or NGOs will find it useful. Afterwards you can produce vulnerability assessments and spatial evidence for adaptation proposals, and explain the uncertainty behind your maps in terms decision makers understand.

About this course
This training provides practical knowledge on GIS and Remote Sensing for Climate Change Impact Analysis and Adaptation through applied spatial techniques and analytical tools. Participants will learn climate mapping, spatial modeling, satellite image analysis, climate vulnerability assessment, and adaptation planning methods. The training also introduces Artificial Intelligence approaches for data processing, prediction, and environmental trend identification. Key concepts, including climate risk assessment, spatial analysis, environmental monitoring, and decision support systems, are covered extensively. Participants will gain practical experience through activities designed around climate datasets and real-world environmental scenarios.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how GIS and remote sensing for climate change impact analysis and adaptation is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for climate spatial datasets, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
Training Objectives
This course equips participants with practical knowledge and technical skills for analyzing climate change impacts using GIS and remote sensing tools. Participants will also learn how AI techniques strengthen climate data analysis and support adaptation planning processes.
