Overview 

The SDG Academy and the Stockholm International Water Institute have come together to offer this MOOC on some of the most important water issues. They focus on the key role water plays in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, not least SDG 6, about sustainable water and sanitation for all. The course intends to explain the global water crisis through linkages between water, environment, and societal development, focusing on how to tackle issues such as growing water uncertainty and deteriorating water quality.

This course is based on the World Bank’s “Strengthening Geospatial Information Management: Using the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework”. This course introduces the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF), which guides countries to strengthen their arrangements in geospatial information management.

During this webinar, you will learn how to process Sentinel-2 data for coral reef monitoring. We will demonstrate the several processing chains and operators available within the Sen2Coral tool.

Background

The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is the largest coral reef ecosystem on Earth. It stretches for thousands of kilometers along the coast of eastern Australia. The reef represents an immense natural and economic value and has been declared UNESCO World Heritage site in 1981.   

In this SIWI World Water Week workshop organised by adelphi and IHE Delft, experts from the diplomacy, development, security, climate change and water communities discussed the conditions under which specific diplomatic tools can be used by riparian and non-riparian countries to shape regional cooperation to address climate, and other security and development challenges, such as migration.
