Climate Change Information Knowledge Management Portal
The project’s platform integrates a broad range of geospatial information to better understand the impacts of climate change on Bangladesh.
The United Nations Development Programme commissioned the TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences to develop the “Climate Change Information Knowledge Management Portal for Bangladesh”. One of the project’s components is the implementation of a solution for the management and provision of geodata required for the portal. Two central elements of the system are a GeoNode instance for the management of a broad range of spatial data, as well as, an instance of the 52°North OGC SensorThings API implementation to support the handling of timeseries data.
In order to develop this component, 52°North supported the TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences with consulting and implementation capacities for geodata management, GeoNode and spatial databases. Our team also provides support for the systematic collection of requirements and the derivation of a development plan.
During 2022, our team continued to support the GeoNode deployment and data preparation. We developed three Angular-based dashboards that visualize climate impact, climate vulnerability and disaster risk in Bangladesh. In addition, we trained Bangladeshi staff to take over platform maintenance, carry out updates and make sure of its continuous availability.
