The goal was to identify suitable strategies for adapting to climate change through the balanced and conscious use of water. 💡 The event was also attended by Paolo Sebastiani, General Manager AC.MO S.r.l., who presented the company's experience with 3rd and 4th level water meters. This is a task that AC.MO S.r.l. continues to pursue, following an innovative approach centered on the use of digital technologies and monitoring. This includes not only flow meters for monitoring and controlling water distribution, but also cutting-edge #Hydropass units featuring ultrasonic measurement technology and data transmission via LoRaWAN technology. #ACMO #ExpectAVK #AVKGroup #seminar #informational #journey #awareness #strategies #climatechange #conscioususeofwater #innovativeapproach #digitaltechnologies #monitoring #waterdistribution #Hydropass #system

I had the pleasure to be in Copenhagen last week to participate to the conference "Earth Observation for Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification of Carbon Removals", co-organized by the European Space Agency - ESA and European Environment Agency, to discuss how Earth Observation can enable large-scale monitoring of carbon emissions and removals in support of the EU’s environmental goals. 🛰️ 🌱 Here are a few key points from the exchanges: - how satellite data can improve tracking of carbon fluxes from land use, forests, and agricultural practices, - how EU frameworks, like the Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF), can help recognize and certify efforts towards carbon removal, - how we can drive investment in nature restoration initiatives, particularly in blue carbon and biodiversity projects, - how better data, supported by in-situ evidence and validated datasets, can lead to better models to quantify and track carbon stock and fluxes. A big thank you to the EEA and ESA teams for organizing such a valuable event; and to all the participants for our insightful exchanges!

🌍Last month, we completed the "Copernicus High Cadence Monitoring for the EU Green Deal" project for DG DEFIS and the European Commission, exploring how higher-frequency #EarthObservation (EO) - the use of satellites to monitor land, marine (seas, rivers, lakes) and atmosphere - can drive progress towards the #EU #GreenDeal's objectives. At Trinomics, our policy experts developed a comprehensive framework to analyze EGD policies and explore technical and technological opportunities for leveraging EO services in environmental monitoring. Working alongside our valued partners - IGN FI, EOXPLORE UG, KERMAP, Terranea, and TerraSphere - we brought together policy experts and EO specialists to develop pilot demonstrations and use cases of how satellite data can fill critical gaps in environmental observation, such as: ✔️Enhancing urban air quality monitoring ✔️Improving wildfire detection ✔️Mapping blue carbon ecosystems for their carbon sequestration potential Congratulations to our partners and the dedicated Trinomics team (Petra Remeta, Maha J. Cziesielski, Francesca Libera Falco, Maja Lardot, Daria Selyavina, Rahadian Rukmana) for making this project a success! 👏
