Global Forest Watch’s Post

I am convinced that technology and talent will play a crucial role in driving change in all sustainability efforts over the next decades. Even regulations are leaning more on technology, providing more reasons for the industry to continuously evolve in their technology and talent. This evolution is essential to ensure profitability, continuity, and foster growth. #Sustainability

Ahead of every webinar, we go through a checklist to avoid unwanted distractions: we complete computer updates, turn off notifications, ensure dogs and small children are out of the room, etc. But we didn't see this one coming ... adorable baby foxes 🦊 frolicking in Tim N.'s garden right before he started his Earth Blox demo. Fortunately, he didn't miss a beat. You can watch him demonstrate how Earth Blox is used to conduct biodiversity sensitivity assessments aligned with the #TNFD LEAP framework, evaluate physical #climate risks for #TCFD reporting, and assess land for post-2020 deforestation risks as per #EUDR standards.

This was my best ever distraction in a webinar 🦊 As I was telling people Earth Blox helps companies create unique windows on their world….these little guys were creating a unique view out of Tim N. ‘s window 🤣 If you want to catch what we said whilst we weren’t being distracted by baby foxes about the power of Earth blox to enable you to access and analyse spatial data for ESG without the need to code or have GIs expertise…..see link below 😍 #nature #data

Did you catch us at UNEA-6? The World Bank joined discussions on tackling climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Environment, Natural Resources & Blue Economy (ENB) Global Director Valerie Hickey discussed opportunities of seaweed as a nature-based solution for people and planet at a side-event: https://lnkd.in/dyicCmUu PROBLUE has been working on highlighting the potential of the seaweed industry for generating value and sustaining communities.

As global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) rise, their impacts on hydro-climatic conditions are creating urgent issues, from biodiversity loss to environmental refugees. Wetlands play a significant role in mitigating these emissions by storing large amounts of organic carbon. However, the long-term stability of carbon in wetland soils and detrital accretions needs further research. Proper wetland management can help reduce atmospheric carbon and maintain essential ecological and economic services such as species protection, groundwater recharge, and flood reduction. At EnviroScience, we are committed to advancing wetland research and management to combat climate change.

As every leisure or sport practiced in a natural environment, there will be days where swimming will not be possible due to weather conditions and their impacts on water quality or even safety. But that will still be a major success on improving water quality, dealing with biodiversity and doing our best to cope with climate change.

The results delivered by Paris in making the Seine swimmable again have sparked hope for many of the world’s other urban waterways, which have been hammered in recent years by pollution, climate change and the over abstraction of water. As UN Environment Programme Dianna Kopansky states “There is no single solution to the water crisis that we’re facing. Improving the quality of river basins is a long-term challenge that requires a well-coordinated and collaborative approach. We’re going to need to massively scale up our efforts if we’re to ensure that everyone, everywhere has the freshwater they need.” #WaterWiseEU EU Environment and Climate UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration

Inspired by Paris' example? We welcome actors, activists and decision-makers in sign the Swimmable Cities Charter - https://lnkd.in/gVaVP3kd (An alliance convened by Regeneration Projects , an Actor in the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration)

The International Day of Forests is here! This year's theme is "Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World." The battle against deforestation requires new technological advancements, and we need to act fast. With 10 million hectares lost annually due to deforestation and approximately 70 million hectares affected by fires, we need to focus on early warning systems, sustainable commodity production, and empowering Indigenous Peoples through land mapping and climate finance access. Let's work together to preserve our forests. Check out the announcement in the comments. #InternationalDayOfForests #ForestsAndInnovation #Deforestation #Sustainability #climatechange

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Afforestation is the establishment of a forest or stand of trees (forestation) in an area where there was no recent tree cover. Many government and non-governmental organizations directly engage in afforestation programs to create forests and increase carbon capture. Afforestation is an increasingly sought-after method to fight climate concerns, as it is known to increase the soil quality and organic carbon levels into the soil, avoiding desertification. Afforestation is mainly done for conservational and commercial purposes
