FIG Climate Compass Task Force Seminars - recordings now available
3 Webinars 20-22 February 2024
Recordings are now available: 3 FIG Climate Compass Task Force
Seminars held in February 2024
It was really very fantastic to see so many of you in our recent
week-long seminar series in February, and particularly to meet you
during the Task Force meetings at the end of these seminars. In these
three seminars, we showcased regionally relevant case studies showing
opportunities and gaps for surveying and climate. The unique and
attractive part of these seminars was the interactive, participatory
conversations for surveyors from around the world interested in climate,
to map our expertise to catalyze a better future for people, planet and
economics. It was a revolutionary interactive seminar series for all
surveyors interested in climate to meet each other, learn from each
other, inspire each other and share their expertise. The recordings of
our three seminars are available at the links below.
