With RICS and AGI CPD (Continuing Professional Development) rating, the webinar will focus on cutting edge uses of geospatial data and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in identifying and presenting evidence of climate change and how individuals, organisations and governments respond to it.

 

The AGI / RICS webinar ‘How Geospatial is Helping us Understand the Climate Emergency’ will take place on the 7th of June 2022 at 1600 BST.
