DESCRIPTION:There are multiple ways to download OpenStreetMap (OSM) data\, 
 this talk delves into the realm of OSM plugins for QGIS\, empowering parti
 cipants to leverage this valuable free and open source geospatial data in 
 their projects. We'll explore core plugins like QuickMapServices and Quick
 OSM\, guiding participants through the process of adding basemaps and down
 loading specific features using Overpass API queries. In addition\, we'll 
 discover the functionalities of third-party plugins like OSMDownloader\, w
 hich enable users to download data by area or with custom queries. \nWe wi
 ll look at some use cases within the humanitarian sector where OSM plugins
  can be used to download data for disaster response\, mapping vulnerable c
 ommunities\, and monitoring refugee camps. We will also look at some use c
 ases for climate change actions where these plugins can be used to downloa
 d forest cover for mapping and monitoring deforestation by tracking change
 s over time\, assessing climate risk by downloading data e.g. elevation\, 
 land cover\, proximity to water body which can be used to assess vulnerabi
 lity to the impact of climate change such as floods\, Sea level rise etc.\
 nThis talk will be beneficial to both novice and advanced QGIS users\, it 
 will equip participants with the tools to harness the potential of open so
 urce data using free and open source software in their geospatial workflow
