2<\/sub> than fossil fuels. These are set free following forest fires. The carbon stock maps by GFW include those emissions and draw a clear overview for the user, to be able to fight global warming at its roots.<\/p>\nRebecca Moore presented Google’s approach on working with AI in order to classify landscapes in real time, which aims to be able to identify seasonal changes and natural disasters, like wildfires or the spread of ash after the eruption of a volcano. This data is now available to everyone.<\/p>\n
But all of this knowledge is for nothing if scientists and decision-makers do not work together. The NDC (Nationally Determined Contributions) try to meet the Paris Agreement and develop better framework conditions for effective climate change governance. It deals with the main issues of tracking the progress and strengthening coordination across national and international stakeholders to fast-track decisions and interagency collaboration.<\/p>\n
In addition, indigenous people and local communities hold half of our world’s land. The decision-maker’s data is useless if people don\u2019t know how <\/em>to avail themselves of its use. Only 2-3% of global funds are put towards nature-based solutions. Jorge P\u00e9rez Rubio, an indigenous American in the Peruvian Amazon, witnessed a 50% reduction of deforestation on their land since they have the data of which parts are being deforested. They are now able to organise themselves and fight for their rights.<\/p>\n\u201cAfrica can demonstrate that preserving the environment and helping our people prosper actually go hand-in-hand,\u201c expressed Wanjira Mathai, former Minister of Environment in Kenya. \u201cAfrica has great restoration potential. Initiating in 2015 and spanning for six years, the African Union restored 128 million acres of degraded land.\u201d Although two thirds of Kenya\u2019s land is semi-arid or desert, it\u2019s one of the most biodiverse landscapes in the world. Monitoring, transparency and accountability are the key elements for the transformative journey of Kenya’s land.<\/p>\n
Morocco is home to diverse landscapes and multiple climate zones, some of which could undergo a transformative journey as well. The argan tree for example, which only grows naturally in Morocco and can be found in the remote area of the Chtouka Ait Baha\u2019s empty desert mountainscapes, is crucial to its region\u2019s communities. The High Atlas Foundation (HAF) supports communities in planting the argan tree among other domestic trees to sustainably influence Moroccan communities. In addition, HAF uses a precise system of monitoring with the help of local people to enhance the survival rate of these trees. The work of HAF is proof that communication and cooperation between local communities, donors, authorities, and scientists is essential for sustainable development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
