Abstract
The impact of anthropogenic activities on the planet we inhibit has affected the climate. Humans are at risk as the earth is warming up. It is through the observation of atmosphere and hydrosphere data; and by using the latest technology such as Remote Sensing (RS) and geographical Information System (GIS) that climate change could be monitored, assessed, analysed and interpreted effectively on real time basis. This paper highlights how RS and GIS can be adopted in combating climate change.
