The impacts of climate change have perpetuated devastating effects around the world, with rising global temperatures increasing the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, ranging from droughts and wildfires to ravaging floods. With the threat of disasters exacerbating significantly in recent years, innovating geospatial technologies that enable experts to manage impacts will be crucial for safeguarding life and infrastructure.

Flood-based disasters have become increasingly frequent and destructive, causing more deaths and around $90bn in damages in 2021 alone – making flooding the highest natural disaster in terms of insured and uninsured losses worldwide. Excessive flooding incurred by climate change not only poses significant threats to life but can displace hundreds of thousands of people, demolishing their homes, ruining livelihoods, and harming natural ecosystems.
