Why it matters
Data-driven urban planning is increasingly vital for cities facing rapid climate change and infrastructure pressures.
WRI India Data Lab Connect, an initiative that brings together data, geospatial tools and local knowledge to help Bengaluru turn climate evidence into action, was launched on Monday (October 12).
WRI India said that the Data Lab Connect is designed around local needs to help organisations unpack climate-related problems and identify appropriate analytical approaches to strengthen climate resilience.
It added that it aims to support work focused on enhancing resilience for vulnerable communities and people.
The Data Lab Connect will give guidance to help identify relevant data, analytical approaches and methods for addressing specific climate resilience questions, provide maps and spatial analysis to help organisations understand patterns, risks and vulnerabilities across Bengaluru and communicate findings more effectively.
It will also offer tailored geospatial and analytical support for specific problem statements, helping organisations apply evidence to their works.
