The Specialist in Spatial Analysis for Climate Risk will contribute to the effective implementation of the project by developing the following activities: a. Analyse climate hazards, exposure, sensitivity, and risks through GIS maps. These maps should also visualize, to the extent possible, current development conditions (municipal infrastructure, building footprints, natural resources (such as hydrological resources), topography, geology, geomorphology, etc. b. Prepare GIS maps using a variety of different sources, e.g. importing data from PDFs, AutoCAD files, TIFFs (or similar images), Adobe Illustrator files, etc. and converting information into shapefiles and other dependent files. c. Further develop a geospatial database that can be turned in to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and the target regional and municipal government institutions for their use. d. Alongside the Climate Adaptation Specialist, conduct information dissemination and validation sessions with regional and municipal climate adaptation planning committees. e. Update geospatial data based on feedback received from climate adaptation planning committee and other other key stakeholders during validation sessions. f. Manage training sessions on the use and interpretation of GIS maps, including how to load the data, basic fundamentals of working with shapefiles, spatial databases and map layers, and interpreting climate risks for adaptation planning.
