LISD PARTNER OF THE GLOBAL CLIMATE GEODESIGN CHALLENGE
The International Geodesign Collaborative (IGC), together with LISD GmbH and Geodesignhub Pvt. Ltd. in partnership and sponsored by Esri Inc has launched the Global Climate Geodesign Challenge (GC2).
The GC2 aims to help global and local decision-makers make strategic climate-based decisions which create enormous long-term benefits for local communities and the world at large. The challenge will undertake climate-responsive spatial designs accommodating many participants, using negotiated collaborations for improved planning and decision-making.
The IGC https://www-igcollab.hub.arcgis.com/ is inviting local teams – university educators and students, professionals, and non-governmental organisations – to submit their proposals.
