Climate, Volume 10, Issue 12

December 2022 - 15 articles

Cover Story: Potentials, limitations, and combinations of openly available Earth Observation data and big data are highlighted for urban environmental research. Benefits of exploiting land cover, land use, environmental hazards and pressures, demographic, and socioeconomic indicators are discussed. The article presents types, categories, and spatial and temporal scales to guide urban planning towards climate-adapted cities and fair living conditions for disadvantaged residents who mostly reside in informal settlements in African cities. The aim is to build resilience to climate change impacts. The usefulness of geodata is hampered by the fact that there is no comprehensive overview of where and how to access them. The article creates transparency in this regard and provides a source for accessing such datasets. View this paper
