Carbify’s Post

While some are #greenwashing at #COP29, we are making progress on impact! We’re excited to see Carbify sharing their enthusiasm about our partnership with explorer.land! Their commitment to transparency and accountability in climate action is exactly what’s needed to build trust and drive meaningful impact. At explorer.land by OpenForests we believe that visibility is the foundation of transformation. With real-time satellite imagery and interactive mapping tools, explorer.land empowers organizations like Carbify to demonstrate the progress of their projects—every tree planted, every ecosystem restored, and every ton of carbon sequestered. 🔍 Why transparency matters: • It builds trust among stakeholders. • It inspires others to take action. • It proves that words are backed by results. We’re proud to be part of this journey with Carbify and look forward to the positive ripple effects this partnership will create. Together, we’re setting a new standard for climate accountability. Let’s redefine what it means to make an impact! 💚 #Transparency #ClimateAction #Partnerships #explorerland

As we launch our latest feature on the Dashboard.Earth app aimed at helping our community become more mindful about water use, our founder Gayatri Roshan delves into the intersections of climate adaptation, technology, and Deep Ecology in a new blog series. The child of nomadic filmmakers, Gaya's unique global upbringing instilled in her a profound understanding of diverse environments and a passion for storytelling. This series explores her journey, from the early influences of climate change documentaries to the founding of Dashboard.Earth. Gaya reflects on the principles of Deep Ecology and the pivotal role it plays in our approach to climate resilience. She emphasizes the importance of financially incentivizing climate adaptation and how our platform leverages technology to empower individuals and communities. “Decades later, my "mid-life crisis" wasn't typical. It involved a shift from exploring worldviews and paradigms to a pragmatic certainty: we have to figure out how to financially reward everyone to engage in climate adaptation,” Gaya writes.

#WeekendPodcast 🎧“We are part of nature. We are a very important keystone species with our hands in many ecosystems worldwide, and we must take that responsibility seriously.” This quote from Peter Ellis, the Global Director of Natural Climate Solutions Science at The Nature Conservancy, addresses the potential of nature to mitigate the carbon required to stabilize the planet, while benefiting ecosystems and human well-being. He was a guest on Lara Birkes’ podcast, Nature IS (Better Worlds), and shared the microphone with Lucy Almond, Chair of Nature4Climate. They discussed how to plan and deliver high-integrity natural climate solutions projects using technology, and introduced the new free platform, naturebase.org. Naturebase combines science-based data on nature’s pathways to empower decision-makers, Indigenous communities, and stakeholders worldwide with data-driven insights on natural climate solutions. It provides region-specific information on the potential carbon sequestration achievable through interventions like reforestation, avoided deforestation, and improved land management practices in any given region or area. Enjoy the episode this weekend and learn more about the potential of nature and naturebase. 🍀 https://lnkd.in/eWPxEPJs #climateaction #naturebasedsolutions #podcast

📏 Measuring #biodiversity is certainly challenging but new, tech-assisted approaches are pushing #biodiversityassessments to new levels, making them: 🌱cost-effective; 🌱scalable; 🌱verifiable/ auditable; 🌱efficient. 🤔 Traditional biodiversity surveys, while necessary in certain circumstances, are labor and time intensive. ➡ At biometrio.earth, we provide advanced, AI-powered biodiversity analytics based on data from #remotesensing, #wildlife cameras, and passive acoustic monitoring. This can provide a holistic understanding of ecosystem conditions and change! #biodiversitymonitoring #bioacoustics #ecoacoustics #naturetech

At Planette, we're redefining what it means to be prepared. Our environmental forecasts go beyond predicting extreme weather - they open up a world of proactive planning 👉🏽 Picture this: months before a major precipitation event, organizations can already be securing clean water supplies, potentially averting a public health crisis. This isn't science fiction; it's a real-world impact of our advanced environmental intelligence. Planette isn't just forecasting the future; we're empowering organizations to shape it. #Planette #EnvironmentalForecasts #LongtermWeatherPredictions #AIforGood #SocialImpact
