Our projects

Projects that turn data into resilience

Across Tanzania, Resilience Academy partners on projects that map hazards, open up geospatial data and help communities and cities plan for a changing climate.

How we work

Applied projects, built with partners

Our projects are hands-on and partner-led. Working with universities, government and communities, we collect and open geospatial data, then put it to work in real planning and disaster-risk decisions — the same data that trains our student interns and fills the Climate Risk Database.

Flood risk mapping

Community mapping of flood-prone wards and drainage.

Coastal resilience

Monitoring coastal erosion and sea-level risk.

Urban planning & land use

Data to guide land-use and infrastructure decisions.

Drone & remote sensing

Aerial imagery for high-resolution basemaps.

Community mapping

Residents mapping their own neighbourhoods.

Climate & disaster data

Open datasets feeding the Climate Risk Database.
