The role – Earth Observation Loss and Damage Officer (EOLDO) will play a key role in leveraging remote sensing and geospatial data and enable value-added services utilising Digital Earth Pacific (DE Pacific) to build evidence - based outputs on climate change impacts, including climate risk and climate-related loss and damage across the Pacific region. The position will be responsible for implementation of geospatial database systems and tools to support development of case studies and use cases that demonstrate how remote sensing and geospatial data can support monitoring of national assets, climate risk and impacts and quantify them as an indicator to support loss and damage accounting. This will be especially important for key economic sectors and assets. The position will collate and enable resources for research and analysis, enhancing and strengthening evidence-based decision making by integrating earth observation and geospatial data with environmental and socio-economic data to highlight the impacts of climate change and climate-induced loss and damage.
