As climate change accelerates risks across agriculture, water, forests, cities, and infrastructure, space-based Earth Observation (EO), satellite communications, and GNSS technologies have become essential for data-driven development. Space analytics now power global climate monitoring, carbon accounting, disaster early warning, food security, and smart urban planning. This domain equips learners to harness satellite data (optical, SAR, hyperspectral), geospatial analytics, AI/ML, digital platforms (Google Earth Engine, Copernicus, NASA Earthdata), and EO-driven policy & finance tools. Learners gain hands-on skills in remote sensing, climate modelling, land-use change, MRV for carbon finance, disaster mapping, climate-risk analytics, and designing EO-enabled development programs.
