Join us as we take a closer look at the role of new technologies — including satellite data and remote sensing — in protecting and conserving nature.
At the 2021 U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, the world's leading multilateral development banks issued a joint statement emphasizing the critical role of nature in providing resources and services that human health and well-being depend on, as well as supporting everything from jobs and economic growth to food security.
However, even the most cutting-edge tools cannot reach their potential impact if they remain inaccessible to those on the front lines of conservation efforts.
This event hosted by Devex in partnership with the Satellite Applications Catapult will feature discussions that explore what can be done to address current barriers to maximize the impact of these promising technologies, including in remote or hard-to-reach areas, by sharing lessons learned from innovative conservation projects.
