UN-SPIDER to participate in the 36th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of the Environment

The 36th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of the Environment (ISRSE) hosted by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) will take place from 11 to 15 May in Berlin. 

Stakeholders from around 65 countries will discuss the importance of Earth observation and satellite data when dealing with natural disasters and crises, but also for daily information about weather and climate, biodiversity, sustainable agriculture or resource consumption, among other essential issues.

The Copernicus Programme, the US Land Imaging Program and the TerraSAR-X mission together with the TanDEM-X mission will only be some of the several implementations on Earth observation and remote sensing to be presented at Berlin. 

UN-SPIDER will be participating in the ISRSE Conference within the Session “DISA-1: International initiatives for Earth Observation-based Disaster and Risk Management.” The presentation to be held by an expert of the UN-SPIDER Bonn office was titled: “Bridging the science-practice gap: UN-SPIDER's approach to recommended practices for disaster risk management.”
