Join us for an exciting session to learn how scientists, through cutting-edge earth observation data, cloud computing, and AI, are rewriting the playbook on scaling Nature-Based Solutions (NbS). In this session we will explore the journey from earth observation data to real-world impact.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are critical tools to address the climate crisis, offering opportunities to mitigate emissions while enhancing biodiversity and community resilience. This panel will delve into novel approaches to community-led project development, carbon accounting, forest monitoring, and financing for NbS.

During this session, we’ll hear from researchers and applied scientists who are applying Earth Engine and Earth Observation data to nature-based climate solutions: from satellite-derived carbon stocks of forests and vegetation, to evaluations of carbon markets and carbon "leakage".

During this session, you'll hear 10 lightning talks featuring projects that are using mapping tools for positive social and environmental impact: Nicole Flores, Conservation International, “Wildlife Insights - AI-enabled Cloud Platform to accelerate wildlife conservation and decision-making” Valerie Pietsch McNulty, The Nature Conservancy, “Blue Carbon Explorer” Ajay Ranipeta, Map of Life / Yale University, “Biodiversity Indicators” Bourhan Yassin, Rainforest Connection, “Scaling biodiversity monitoring in the Anthropocene - Harnessing the power of AI to improve conservation actions in climate
