Biodiversity—the variety of life on Earth—is facing an unprecedented crisis. Over 1.2 million plant and animal species are estimated to be under threat of extinction, with human activities being a primary driver of this loss. In the past 50 years alone, monitored wildlife populations have shrunk by 73%. This urgency sets the stage for the UN Biodiversity Conference COP16 happening this week in Cali, Colombia—one of the world's most biodiverse regions. Decisions made here will define our collective future, and implementing these commitments requires global collaboration. To achieve meaningful progress, we need to build trust and effectively track the benefits of biodiversity efforts. This is where Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) comes into play. MRV is a multi-step process designed to measure the positive impacts and benefits of protection, restoration, and regeneration projects on biodiversity. We are honored that Kanop has been featured by ClimateHack alongside other innovators and experts, to highlight how data analytics tools are revolutionizing MRV for biodiversity.

📢 Today marks the beginning of the UN Biodiversity #COP16 in Cali, Colombia. Over 12,000 global leaders from business, finance and civil society are expected to attend. We’re excited to announce that, Coby Strell, our Business Development Manager, and Louis de Vitry, Co-Founder and CTO, will represent Kanop. Coby will be speaking at the Nature Positive Pavilion: Reimagining Nature with the Nature Tech Collective. You can catch him at the Leveraging Technology for Biodiversity Monitoring and Conservation roundtable, alongside Jorge Ahumada from WildMon and Alan Kroeger from Satelligence. Together, they’ll dive into cutting-edge technologies that are transforming biodiversity monitoring. We look forward to insightful discussions that will drive conservation efforts forward. Hope to see you there! #BiodiversityCOP16 #ConservationTech #Sustainability #BiodiversityMonitoring #ClimateAction #TechForGood

🌍 We’re excited to announce our partnership with Terraspect, a platform that empowers project developers and buyers to manage community payments with full traceability. Their mission is to channel billions in climate finance —a critical component in combating climate change— to communities with the greatest climate impact. 🏦 Terraspect provides climate financial infrastructure that transparently disburses community compensation from nature-based projects at scale. By offering a single source of truth for developers, buyers, and local partners, they ensure communities are fully compensated, while simplifying payment distribution. This helps buyers mitigate risk, developers show impact, and communities receive fair, low-cost disbursements using the methods they already trust. Through this partnership, we will deliver farm-level data, offering project developers actionable insights and ensuring proper compensation for farmers in the Global South. Together, we’re making data-backed decisions easier and driving sustainable finance for climate-positive outcomes.

🌍 New research shows significant decline in land carbon sink for 2023 (not yet peer-reviewed) A recent study reveals a record drop in the global land carbon sink in 2023, with CO2 levels at Mauna Loa increasing by an unprecedented 3.37 ppm—the highest recorded since 1958. Despite a small increase of only 0.6% in fossil fuel emissions, the land and ocean sinks' ability to absorb carbon significantly weakened, with the land sink reaching its lowest level since 2003—0.44 GtC yr-1. The study highlights several key drivers: - Amazon drought in late 2023 led to an abnormal carbon loss of 0.31 GtC yr-1. - Extreme wildfires in Canada emitted 0.58 GtC yr-1, exacerbating the carbon imbalance. - The Northern Hemisphere's land CO2 uptake halved since 2015, indicating a steady weakening. The global transition from La Niña to El Niño further complicated the carbon budget, with the tropical regions becoming net carbon sources. This shift underscores the vulnerability of global ecosystems to extreme heat, with record high temperatures driving a gross global carbon loss of 1.73 GtC yr-1. 🌱 🌳 These trends highlight an urgent need to bolster natural carbon sinks through nature-based solutions (NbS). Strategies such as reforestation, wetland restoration, and regenerative agriculture can play a vital role in reversing these alarming trends. NbS can restore ecosystem health, enhance biodiversity, and improve carbon sequestration, making them crucial tools in our fight against climate change. At Kanop, our AI-powered solutions, leveraging satellite imagery, provide the tools to monitor these critical changes with high accuracy, at the site level. With extreme weather patterns and carbon sink reductions accelerating, the need for accurate data has never been more urgent.

With over 100,000 participants and more than 600 events, this year's gathering was more than just a conference, emerging as a rallying cry for decisive action in a world increasingly impacted by climate change. Regulatory Landscape Evolves Having observed climate policy for years, we’ve never witnessed such a significant regulatory momentum as we are seeing now. The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and similar initiatives worldwide are heralding a new era of corporate responsibility. While companies may express concerns over compliance costs, this transparency is vital for catalyzing meaningful actions. Important VCM Insight At MSCI Carbon Markets’s event, "The State of Carbon Credit Integrity", we heard that, based on their review of over 4,000 projects, the quality of projects in the VCM is on the rise. Of note is the growing prevalence of ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation) projects, which (shameless plug) we’re thrilled to support, helping shape higher integrity projects from eligibility to project design and monitoring. Great One-Liner EY’s “Propelling Nature-Positive” panel was full of valuable insights, but the standout moment came from Lucy Godshall when she emphasized the importance of driving practical change. Her words: “What gets measured, gets managed” resonated with the entire room. While we all aim to create a positive environmental impact, it's clear that high-quality data is the foundation for making a compelling case for meaningful change. Favorite Moment Our favorite moment was without a doubt wrapping up the week with an amazing group of people at Kanop’s 1st Annual Pickleball Event. We enjoyed NYC bagels, great conversations, and some intense competition. If you missed it, don’t worry—there will certainly be a part two next year! Romain Fau and Coby Strell had a great time and are looking forward to this week’s event in London: Corporate Investments into Forests and Biodiversity! 🌍 #CIFBLondon2024 #ClimateTech #NatureBasedSolutions CE Events & Media
