Predictive Analytics for Climate-Sensitive Sectors
Leveraging Data-Driven Forecasting for Resilience, Risk, and Resource Optimization
About This Course
This intensive international course is designed to develop practical skills in predictive analytics applied to climate-sensitive sectors including agriculture, water, energy, and public health. Through interactive sessions using real-world datasets and freely available tools, participants will learn to build predictive models, visualize environmental risks, and support climate-resilient decision-making.
Aim
To equip participants with the analytical tools, techniques, and models required to forecast climate-related risks and opportunities in critical sectors, enabling informed planning, sustainable resource management, and policy resilience.
Workshop Objectives
- Develop practical skills in climate data engineering and predictive analytics.
- Apply machine learning to forecast risks across climate-sensitive sectors.
- Use explainable AI and scenario analysis for climate-risk decision-making.
- Build hands-on climate prediction workflows using Google Colab.
