SUMMARY:EO4SD wrap up event: climate resilience
DESCRIPTION:Satellite Earth Observation (EO) technology has major potential to inform and facilitate international development work in a globally consistent manner. Since 2008\, the European Space Agency has worked closely together with the International Financing Institutions (IFIs) and their client countries to harness the benefits of EO in their operations and resources management.\n\nEO4SD – Earth Observation for Sustainable Development – is an ESA initiative which aims to achieve a step increase in the uptake of satellite-based environmental information in the IFIs regional and global programs. This event will focus on the Climate Resilience component of the initiative through the presentation of several successful use cases followed by a discussion on lessons and insights in order to inform the way forward with the new phase of the partnership – and in particular its core component\, the Global Development Assistance program.\n\n \nChair:\n\n 	Bernice Van Bronkhorst\, Global Director\, Climate Change\, Sustainable Development Practice Group\n\n \nSpeakers:\n\n 	Alex Chunet\, European Space Agency representative to the World Bank\n 	Clement Albergel\, European Space Agency Technical Officer for Climate Resilience\n 	Carlos Domenech\, EO4SD-Climate consortium Lead\, Senior Manager Climate Change and Sustainability Services at GMV\n\n \nPanelists:\n\n 	Genevieve Connors\, Practice Manager\, Environment\, Natural Resources\, and the Blue Economy\, LAC\n 	Kanta Kumari\, Lead Environmental Specialist\n 	Jun Rentschler\, Senior economist\n\n \nDiscussants:\n\n 	Makoto Suwa\, Senior Disaster Risk Management Specialist\n 	(TBC) Manu Sharma\, Senior Climate Change Specialist\n 	Swati Sachdeva\, Urban Specialist
