How Can Earth Observation Help Track Climate Adaptation Progress?
UNDERPIN participated in a joint workshop on 25 June, hosted by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), bringing together experts from science, policy and international organisations to explore how earth observation can support implementation of the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA). A key challenge of the GGA is developing indicators […]

From local insight to global exchange: UNDERPIN shares community-driven practices in Manila
The 20th annual International Community-based Adaptation Conference (CBA20) brought together practitioners from across the globe last week under the theme “local solutions inspiring global action.” UNDERPIN contributed to this milestone 20th edition, engaging in conversations on how locally grounded knowledge can inform climate adaptation measurement. . On 12 May, Adaptation Research Alliance hosted discussions around the “knowledge nexus,” a key theme of CBA20, exploring how different […]
UNDERPIN advances outcome-based climate adaptation measurement at Europe’s leading geoscience conference
UNDERPIN actively participated at this year’s European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in Vienna, which is among Europe’s top conferences for geosciences, gathering around 20,027 scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange on disciplines like Earth, planetary and space sciences. With its focus on technical climate measurement, which involves relying on Earth observation data and other novel data source, it made sense for UNDERPIN to join and learn […]
