Lobelia Earth

Only one week till #COP16! In Cali, the heart of Colombia's biodiversity, special emphasis will be placed on accelerating the momentum of action to reach the 23 targets set for 2030. At Lobelia Earth, we use we use state-of-the-art indicators based on remote sensing to offer solutions for corporations, financial institutions, and investors to assess and track their impact and dependence on natural capital. This enables them to set nature-positive targets and measure their progress toward achieving those goals. If you want to meet in Cali and learn more about our solutions don't hesitate to reach out!

🎉 #COP16 kicks off in two weeks, and we'll be there! 🎉 The conference will focus on implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework established in 2022 at COP15. We can't wait to connect and contribute to biodiversity protection and regeneration. 🌱 #CountdownToCOP16 #PeaceWithNature

🌍 Planet earth is in critical condition, warns Johan Rockström, director of the PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, in TIME Four planetary boundaries are already in the high-risk zone while four others are in the increasing risk zone. Global planetary health is approaching the high-risk line. He also highlights that solutions are within reach and opportunities for action are still available - but the window is closing fast. "We have technologies, like near earth satellites, super-computing capacity for data storage and analytics, AI, and major earth system modeling capabilities", says Rockström, highlighting tools at our disposal. With the upcoming COP16 on biodiversity, we stand at a pivotal moment for ecosystem preservation, one of the key planetary indicators. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eJGYthX2

Let's connect at the ESG Summit Europe: if you're attending as well and would like to arrange a meeting with Thaís Fontenelle Siqueira, don’t hesitate to reach out! We can exchange on ways to enhance corporate transparency and tools to support ESG investments toward a more sustainable environmental, social, and corporate governance. #SustainabilityInAction

We are devastated to learn that Juan Baztan, a recognised oceanographer at CEARC - UVSQ Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, has suddenly passed away. We'll remember him as an engaged scientist in the fight against plastic pollution in the oceans, a cofounder of the Marine Science for Society network, and a key figure in enabling science's transformative power in social matters. Over the years, Juan has collaborated with isardSAT and Lobelia in research projects on ocean plastic detection. His work is and will be an example of transparent, collaborative and excellent quality research, as well as the importance of the dialogue between scientists and society as a whole.

🌿 Our commercial director Jorge Calvín is in London today and tomorrow, representing Lobelia Earth at the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit. This morning’s sessions have already kicked off discussions about transforming global food security (Gunther Berger) and the role of Earth Observation #EO in yield prediction and policy (Inbal Becker-Reshef). We’re looking forward to connect with fellow experts and explore how our satellite and climate data-driven solutions can empower the future of agriculture. 🌾 Photo: World Agri-Tech

This year we are not present at the #ClimateWeekNYC as we are busy preparing our participation in the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP16) in Cali, Colombia. These first 5 days in NY have been full of interesting events. We have been following some online like: 👉 TNFD Executive director (Tony Goldner) intervention at the WWF The Nest Climate Campus (see livestream recording here: https://bit.ly/4dpMcYq) 👉 Climate Change AI and Google DeepMind session on “AI for Climate action: From Data to Impact” 👉 UNDP and Climate Focus session on “Forest Finance for Reaching and Increasing NDCs” We missed, though, the World Biodiversity Summit (https://bit.ly/4ejRXb8), Climate-KIC events or hearing first hand experiences of NatureFinance, Capitals Coalition, or Prof. Dr. Martin R. Stuchtey and Felipe Villela from The Landbanking Group. We look forward to seeing many of you face to face in Cali.

⛵ The multidisciplinary team of scientists from the FAR-DWO project has just returned from the second oceanographic cruise to explore the Denmark Strait Overflow, the earth’s highest waterfall, which happens to be underwater between Greenland and Iceland. 🌊 The oceanic currents in the Arctic have been sparsely documented because of remote location and harsh conditions. Yet, these currents play a key role in the planet's climate regulation system. The samples taken in this oceanographic cruise will bring insights into the history of oceanic currents and how they interact with the Earth's climate over vast timescales. 📖 Read the article below for deeper insight into the goals and challenges of the cruise. It has been great to have Lobelia Earth included in such a diverse group of scientific partners including Universitat de Barcelona, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, University of Iceland (Háskóli Íslands), University of Hamburg, ETH Zürich, Ifremer, Unidad Tecnología Marina (UTM, CSIC), Facultat de Ciències de la Terra UB https://bit.ly/4ds5Bb4

Our commercial director, Jorge Calvín, spoke with IndustryTalks, specialists in innovation and industry, about the opportunities emerging from the recent expansion in satellite data availability: "From the applications' point of view, [the New Space revolution] allows for the expansion of data capacity for monitoring, analysis, and communication, as well as the development of applications that were unimaginable just a few years ago in sectors such as agriculture, telecommunications, meteorology, climate, and surveillance."
