Kanop

🇧🇷 Heading to Brazil! At Kanop, we're passionate about supporting people who are protecting and restoring the Amazon’s forests. What better way to deepen our understanding than by engaging directly with those on the ground? Next week, October 15-16, Aliança Brasil Nature-based Solutions is hosting the Brazilian Climate & Carbon Conference 🌿, and we’re thrilled to attend! This is a fantastic opportunity to: 🔎 Gain deeper insights into on-the-ground efforts 🏛️ Learn about the latest policy developments 📏 Find partners with high-quality field data to further improve model accuracy for such a key region If you're attending, feel free to message Coby Strell, who will be representing Kanop (coby.strell@kanop.io). He’d love to connect! 🤝 Not attending but based in São Paulo? Don’t worry—Coby will be in town until October 22nd, and he’s happy to meet up! ☕ #AmazonConservation #CarbonProjects #biodiversity #Brazil #Sustainability #naturebasedsolutions #ClimateAction

With over 100,000 participants and more than 600 events, this year's gathering was more than just a conference, emerging as a rallying cry for decisive action in a world increasingly impacted by climate change. Regulatory Landscape Evolves Having observed climate policy for years, we’ve never witnessed such a significant regulatory momentum as we are seeing now. The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and similar initiatives worldwide are heralding a new era of corporate responsibility. While companies may express concerns over compliance costs, this transparency is vital for catalyzing meaningful actions. Important VCM Insight At MSCI Carbon Markets’s event, "The State of Carbon Credit Integrity", we heard that, based on their review of over 4,000 projects, the quality of projects in the VCM is on the rise. Of note is the growing prevalence of ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation) projects, which (shameless plug) we’re thrilled to support, helping shape higher integrity projects from eligibility to project design and monitoring. Great One-Liner EY’s “Propelling Nature-Positive” panel was full of valuable insights, but the standout moment came from Lucy Godshall when she emphasized the importance of driving practical change. Her words: “What gets measured, gets managed” resonated with the entire room. While we all aim to create a positive environmental impact, it's clear that high-quality data is the foundation for making a compelling case for meaningful change. Favorite Moment Our favorite moment was without a doubt wrapping up the week with an amazing group of people at Kanop’s 1st Annual Pickleball Event. We enjoyed NYC bagels, great conversations, and some intense competition. If you missed it, don’t worry—there will certainly be a part two next year! Romain Fau and Coby Strell had a great time and are looking forward to this week’s event in London: Corporate Investments into Forests and Biodiversity! 🌍 #CIFBLondon2024 #ClimateTech #NatureBasedSolutions CE Events & Media

The European Commission is exploring a market-based system to encourage farmers and industries to conserve nature and restore lost biodiversity by putting a price on ecosystems. This innovative approach aligns with the growing need to enhance biodiversity and climate resilience. Our work at Kanop supports this vision by providing organizations with accurate, scalable, and auditable climate and biodiversity data through our AI-powered platform. By leveraging cutting-edge satellite imagery, we empower stakeholders to make informed decisions and meet regulatory requirements effectively. Initiatives like these are crucial for fostering environmental accountability and transparency, which are essential in combating climate change and biodiversity loss.

🌊 Exciting developments in blue carbon! 🌿 We're thrilled to see the progress in the blue carbon space with the release of Gold Standard's first methodology for mangrove restoration projects. This collaboration with FORLIANCE leverages advanced remote-sensing technology to enhance the precision of carbon storage measurement and verification. Mangroves are crucial in our fight against climate change, storing 3-4 times more carbon in their soils than other forest types. Beyond carbon, they protect coastlines, support diverse ecosystems, and improve water quality. This innovation aligns with our mission at Kanop to empower organizations with accurate, scalable, and auditable data for nature-based solutions. We're committed to providing advanced data analytics through our AI-powered platform, utilizing satellite imagery to support sustainable land management and carbon sequestration efforts. As we continue to develop solutions for the Voluntary Carbon Market and Corporate Sustainability Reporting, it's encouraging to see advancements that ensure carbon credits genuinely represent real and verifiable carbon sequestration. For more details, check out the methodology document from Gold Standard: https://lnkd.in/etH6JUjw Get in touch at hello@kanop.io to learn how we can support your blue carbon projects. #BlueCarbon #MangroveRestoration #Sustainability #Innovation #Kanop #ClimateAction

✨ Employee Spotlight: Stéphanie Baltus-Bergamo ✨ Stéphanie has been an essential member of the team for most of Kanop’s lifetime. But before joining Kanop, she was the Lead Data Engineer at Leboncoin.fr, where she oversaw and mentored more than 40 team members. As a talented Staff Engineer, Stéphanie is responsible for making sure the Kanop platform is scalable, secure and runs smoothly so that the other engineers on the team can focus on enhancing our AI models and developing additional indicators. During her free time, you can find Stéphanie building legos, or rocking out to some metal. But more than likely than not, you will find her training for triathlons (rain or shine). We appreciate your technical skill, commitment, and your caring, team-oriented personality. Thank you for all you do, Stephanie!
