🌏 🚨 With rising sea levels and extreme weather events posing existential threats, the Pacific Islands are among the world’s most vulnerable regions. UNOOSA, via our UN Platform for Space-based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response (UN-SPIDER) program, is dedicated to supporting these nations by leveraging space technology to enhance disaster resilience. 🌐 We’re grateful to showcase these efforts at the 53rd Pacific Islands Leaders Forum in Tonga, alongside United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and other UN entity representatives in the region. 🔭 In Tonga, UN-SPIDER and CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) are spearheading the Tonga Preparedness Pilot, a crucial initiative that bolsters disaster resilience through satellite-based Earth observation and early warning systems. This project equips local authorities with essential tools for monitoring volcanic activity, cyclones, and rising sea levels, enabling timely and effective responses. 💡 Regionally, our work in the Pacific includes developing tailored solutions for remote sensing and data analysis, crucial for disaster risk reduction. For instance, UN-SPIDER has facilitated the use of satellite imagery to assess the impact of natural disasters, providing actionable insights that are vital for post-disaster recovery, and saving lives. 🏝️ Through collaborations with regional organizations and local governments, we’ve helped establish geospatial information systems essential for resource management and future risk planning. These efforts directly enhance the Pacific Islands’ capacity to respond to and recover from disasters. #PacificIslandsForum #SpaceForGood #UNSPIDER #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment #Space4Life Photo Credit: UNICEF/Lasse Bak Mejlvang
