Extreme Temperatures Risk: Advancing on SDGs Indicators Monitoring, Reporting and Accounting

The SDGs-EYES webinar “Extreme temperatures risks: Advancing on SDGs indicators monitoring, reporting and accounting” will provide an in-depth exploration of critical environmental challenges and solutions. This webinar highlights the innovative Copernicus-based tool delivering advanced mapping of SDG indicators of climate hazards and related health risks, complementing the mean near-surface temperature indicator with a new set of more representative indicators..

Participants will gain insights into the pilot’s advanced tools and datasets, designed to enhance stakeholders’ understanding of a risk assessment process focused on the heat-health nexus in the urban context, which combines hazard with demographic, socio-economic, health and built environment factors.

The webinar will foster discussions on potential applications, align solutions with user needs, and encourage the adoption of the pilot’s outcomes to address real-world challenges.

Key Highlights:

• Advancing SDG13 – Climate Action: Explore how the pilot contributes to monitoring and managing climate-related risks in an urban context, helping policy-makers and other stakeholders to identify priority areas for action. Innovative Climate Indicators: Learn how the Copernicus-based tools generate high-resolution maps of a new set of indicators of climate hazards.
• Mitigating Climate-related Risks: Understand how the pilot supports knowledge of the relative impact of demographic, socio-economic, health and built environment factors, to suggest potentially more effective actions.
• Global Sustainability and Climate Action: Discuss the role of this initiative in supporting global efforts to achieve SDG13 targets and contribute to the post-2030 United Nations agenda.
• Discuss the role of this pilot in supporting global efforts, as the United Nations shapes the post-2030 agenda to advance sustainability goals.
