UNEP-DHI Centre works with world class experts in hydrological modelling, earth observation data and water management decision-suppport tools to assist countries and organizations in addressing climate change challenges.

We design and implement solutions that make full use of the growing opportunities provided by satellite data and cloud solutions to improve preparedness, management and response to urban flooding, basin floods and droughts and coastal protection.

Our work includes technical assistance to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, and continued technical support to UNFCCC’s Climate Technology Centre and Network’s (CTCN) work in countries.
