Abstract

This chapter explores the pivotal role of geoinformatics in evaluating and addressing the impacts of climate change. By integrating advanced technologies like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and spatial data analytics, it offers a comprehensive framework for analyzing environmental changes and enhancing climate resilience. It highlights key applications of geoinformatics, including disaster risk reduction, sustainable urban planning, environmental monitoring, and agriculture. These demonstrate how geoinformatics facilitates informed decision-making, fosters sustainable development, and supports the creation of resilient communities against climate change. Additionally, this chapter discusses the importance of emerging technologies like cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Through a multidisciplinary approach, it underscores the necessity of geoinformatics in developing effective strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation, providing crucial insights for policymakers, researchers and practitioners.
