What are the nature-based solutions exactly, why are they important for reducing deforestation? And what is the role of data, and in particular geospatial data, in monitoring land-use change and nature-based solutions? In this episode, our guest speakers will explore the vast topic of ‘Nature’ in tackling climate change, and why reasons why businesses should prioritise reducing their environmental...

In episode 3, we speak to Richard Pyatt from CR Plus and Animesh Ghosh from Envirya about the decarbonisation journeys of industrial sites they have supported. The podcast discusses how to approach industrial decarbonisation, what energy efficiency and decarbonisation technologies are available and how delivery partners can help to advise industrial sites on how to reduce their energy demand and c...

What is the role of collaboration and trustworthy data in mapping our urban environment to fight climate change and build more resilient cities? In this episode, we explore how collective intelligence and open data sharing can protect cities from natural disasters. Together with our guest speakers, we will also be discussing the rules and agreements needed to be established in order to enable this...

In this episode of the IETF podcast we will hear from industrial sites both large and small who are actively decarbonising their manufacturing operations with support from the IETF.
