Introducing Geoguard—an innovative platform from the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs that leverages open-source satellite data to help policymakers and researchers tackle climate, peace, and security challenges.
Geoguard refines raw satellite data into accessible insights, allowing users to track environmental trends like rainfall, temperature, and soil moisture. Covering regions like the Middle East, West Africa, the Sahel, and Central Africa, Geoguard offers decades of climate data to support decision-making in vulnerable areas.
While Geoguard is primarily designed for UN staff, it is also accessible to external partners and researchers working on climate and security issues.
The project is made possible with funds from DPPA’s Multi-Year Appeal and the Complex Risk Analytics Fund (CRAF’d).
We encourage you to explore how Geoguard can help drive data-informed solutions to the complex challenges we face today.
