Climate change and vulnerability of regional territories. Accompanying a federative project: platform for value added services

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) supports world regions to anticipate the effects of climate change. ClimSAT provides information and analysis from satellite imagery, supports the analysis of the vulnerability of areas and assists them in developing their Integrated Territorial Climate Plan. The expertise provided involves the shaping of ideas within a normalised "draft document," based on the formats of concerned financial donors (European Space Agency, European Commission, CNES). The expected role is that of an executive secretary who: leads a group that generates ideas, ensures that the final project is federative and has the capacity to mobilise, proposes, following all the discussions, a framework programme and prepares a draft document in accordance with the requirements and standards of the financial partners.
