Land & Carbon Lab: Addressing the Global Land Squeeze for Climate, Biodiversity and People
Timezones: 10:00 Lima | 11:00 Washington DC | 12:00 São Paulo | 17:00 Paris | 22:00 Jakarta
Join us on October 26th for the high-level introduction to Land & Carbon Lab.
Land is vital but finite. How can we reconcile humanity’s competing land demands with the need to combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and improve people’s lives?
WRI’s new Land & Carbon Lab initiative is harnessing the data revolution to monitor the pulse of the planet’s land and its nature-based carbon. The initiative will provide decision-makers everywhere with the actionable information they need to address the global land squeeze—to combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and improve people’s lives.
You’ll hear from WRI and partners, including scientists and technologists, on plans to build and deploy a comprehensive global land monitoring system. We’ll also be previewing new data, including trees in mosaic landscapes, forest carbon fluxes and global land cover – showcasing the information that will ultimately create unprecedented transparency about what is happening to the world’s land at any point on the planet, at any time.
