At the Jóvenes Geoespaciales training in El Salvador, 45 talented young students worked in groups to use NASA satellite data and Google Earth Engine to develop projects for local climate resilience. Each group learned how to develop their own ArcGIS StoryMaps web page for displaying their data, which they can use to advocate for climate action.
