Climate Resilience & Sustainability
Open mapping supports strategies to mitigate potential climate impacts, enhance community preparedness, and ensure that communities grow in environmentally sustainable ways. Through mapping climate hazards and realities in the communities, local players can contribute towards finding sustainable solutions by filling in data gaps and contributing to long-term community resilience and development. Open mapping helps co-develop solutions and responses, which enables humanitarian, development, and community organizations to take more informed and locally appropriate action.
