As a component to the project Climate Risk Vulnerability Assessment of the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office 1 (DA RFO-1), contracted GrIDS personnel once again facilitated another workshop, this time focusing on Adaptive Capacity of LGUs to the effects of climate change.

In partnership with the Sustainable Earth Scientists Inc, GrIDS held this event on July 22 to 23, 2017 at Camarines Norte, Bicol to provide school supplies to children beneficiaries of Lope Manlangit Elementary School in Brgy. Quinapaguian.

A project contract between the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office 1 and GrIDS was signed to provide consultancy services for the conduct of survey and research for the preparation of Climate Risk Vulnerability in the agriculture sectors which aims for climate-resilient agriculture and fisheries sector.

With its commitment to provide up-to-date tools to its clients, GrIDS launched a beginners’ course on Google Earth Engine which aims to give the participants an overview of its applications.

GrIDS takes a step forward in their course offerings for Small Group Training by upgrading the Land Cover Classification course into Land Cover Change Analysis. While the former’s goal is only to classify different vegetation cover, the latter incorporates additional steps in performing Change Detection Analysis (CDA).
