Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM)’s Post

Data and evidence is truly crucial for better solutions to issues of migration.

In recent years, anticipatory action has made great advances in response to droughts, floods, typhoons, etc. The approach has recently gained further momentum with the UN Secretary General launching the Early Warning for All action plan in 2022, which aims to ensure that every person in the world is covered by early warning systems by 2027. When it comes to responding to conflict hazards – such as conflict-induced displacement – progress on anticipatory action has so far been meager – both due to the challenging contexts but also due to the lack of forecasting tool to accurately predict future shocks. As such, the expected benefits of anticipatory action have only to a limited extent being extended to conflict- and displacement-affected populations. On October 18 we are bringing together an exciting group of experts to discuss prediction of conflict and displacement for anticipatory action at the upcoming #Data4Peace 2023 Conference organized by NYU Center on International Cooperation The purpose of this session is to highlight the current state of forecasting conflict and displacement and the opportunities and challenges for using such forecasting for anticipatory action. With this focus, the aim is to charter a course for expanding – where feasible – anticipatory action as response to conflict and conflict- induced displacement Branka Panic Isabelle Arradon Katayoun Kishi

Data means... 👉 Actions that save lives and deliver solutions 🔎 Insights that facilitate regular migration pathways 🔜 Foresight that accelerates preparedness and anticipatory action   Today IOM Director General Amy Pope launches the #GlobalDataInstitute to tap into the power of data to deliver on the promise of migration.

Over the past 10 years, the number of internally displaced people (IDP) has more than doubled, from 33 million to 71 million. They are now in half of all the countries in the world, often driven to move because of the impact of climate change, conflict and other disruptions and hardships. Anticipating potential displacement is a key aspect of preventing it, and doing so is a top priority for IOM.  See below our latest report PROGRESS, Periodic Global Report on the State of Solutions to Internal Displacement ⬇ ⬇ ⬇

🛰️ Digital Earth Australia Coastlines is a leading-edge product informing how we protect our coastal environments and communities. Our team of experts have been able to share this innovative science with Digital Earth Africa. Both Coastlines products offer decades of Landsat satellite observation data that enables users to: 🔍 Identify and analyse patterns of coastline change to inform coastal management. 📝 Inform risk assessments for property and asset protection by insurance companies. 💭 Understand the effectiveness of past interventions to protect coastlines to inform future protection planning. Launched in 2022, Digital Earth Africa can bring these insights to the entire African continent. Learn more about how the Digital Earth Australia Coastlines and DE Africa Coastlines are having impact locally, nationally, and internationally 👉 https://bit.ly/3tfkvjK 📷 Coastlines Animation (Barubbra Island, Queensland) Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Centre De Suivi Écologique, Griffith University, Insurance Council of Australia, City of Gold Coast, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade #Landsat, #Innovation, #DigitalEarthAU, #DEAfrica, #USGS, #GeoscienceAustralia

🤝 In December 2023, M4D - Multimodal Data Fusion and Analytics Group researchers together with the Prefecture of Central Greece officials successfully organised the first Greek Community of Practice (CoP) of the ClimEmpower project, in the premises of the latter, in Lamia. Local stakeholders stemming from the quadruple helix participated and contributed with knowledge on the status of the climate risks faced by the prefecture and ideas on how to address the challenges posed by these risks. 🌦 ClimEmpower aims to bring together 14 organizations with a common mission to empower five South-European regions (Andalusia, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece and Sicily) facing high climate change (CC) risk and exceptionally low adaptive capacity to enhance their CC resilience. Our aim is to enhance their CC resilience by establishing regional Communities of Practice (CoP) and co-creating resilient development strategies tailored to the specific needs and potentials of each region. 📌 M4D - Multimodal Data Fusion and Analytics Group - Multimedia Knowledge and Social Media Analytics Laboratory - MKLab, which is a part of Information Technologies Institute (ITI) of Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH), is a project partner and a Case Study Facilitator responsible for developing a methodology to close data gaps in global, European, regional and local datasets to be used in user-centric applications which will be tested and validated in regional trials. 🖱 For more news and updates, you can visit the project site - https://climempower.eu/ #climempower #eu #horizonproject #resilientcommunities #climatechange #sustainability

Webinar! International Financial Institutions (IFIs) are increasingly realising the potential use of #EO for monitoring and evaluation (M&E). However, it is an area that is still not fully understood. To address this gap, #GDA published a topical overview under the Monitoring & Evaluation and Impact Assessment activity, looking at the value of EO for M&E by IFIs. Join Imperative Space and Caribou Space for a webinar that aims to promote the use of #EO in M&E by IFIs. The webinar will demonstrate the significant role M&E plays in development interventions, as well as showcasing the value that EO data brings to M&E. We will be joined by an expert panel of speakers Alex Chunet, Bernhard Metz & Robert Marty from The World Bank and Christoph Aubrecht from European Space Agency - ESA More information and registration here – 19th October 15:00 (CET) https://lnkd.in/eebZiWyK #AcceleratingImpact

Earth Observations Data Cubes integrated with In-Situ data can go a long way to monitor and report on official statistics SDG indicators. Partnership and collaboration with international Big EO data providers, Space Agencies and the National Statistcs Offices are key to make this happen. After some testing and fine tuning, finally an operational tool, EOSTAT, is now up and running in Lesotho to measure the Mountain Green Cover Index and other environmental and agricultural indicators. Many thanks to EO4SDG initiative of GEO for awarding the SDG award 2023 to the EOSTAT project implemented by the Bureau of Statistics in Lesotho with support from FAO, GIZ, the European Union, the Government of Lesotho under the Renoka initiative.
