In the context of the GI-Forum 2011 a pre-conference workshop is organised by the United Nations University - Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) and the Centre for Geoinformatics, University of Salzburg (Z_GIS) as a follow-up of the GI_Forum 2010 special workshop on Vulnerability: Spatial Assessment and Analysis.

The topic will be further discussed during a special session on Global and Climate Change: Monitoring and Modelling during the main program of the GI-Forum on Thursday July 7.

"Global change" – a short formula for a multitude of anticipated shifts in societal and environmental domains in respond to strong global drivers such as climate change – calls for spatial monitoring and modelling techniques to better understand the implications and potential dynamics of such changes. International programmes and visions (GEO, GMES, SEIS, …) envisage unified systems based on quality standards for data, products and services to establish optimized observation and forecasting capacity within Europe, and globally.
