Change – social and environmental, rural and urban – disproportionately impacts women and children. The UN reports that 80% of people displaced by climate change are women and girls. Research shows that domestic violence and crime, particularly against women, increases with male job loss. Understanding prevailing patterns by combining location data with social and environmental data can help identify vulnerable populations and mitigate these risks.

Join this session with Snowflake and Ordnance Survey to:

• Explore how integrating different types of geospatial data, such as maps, with open source data can expose the impact of these changes

• Discover how overlaying this information enriches visualization and analysis of vulnerabilities to identify better solutions

• Learn how data from the UK’s Ordnance Survey available through the Snowflake Marketplace addresses global challenges and helps mitigate risks

• Hear about Snowflake’s initiative to End Data Disparity
