It might seem a dramatic statement to make on #MostExcitingWednesday, but the entirety of the human race is depending on scientific innovation to mitigate climate change and Earthbound Scientific Ltd are at the very forefront of that progress 🌍🌎🌏. They develop products that are able to measure data about a plethora of environmental factors. Motivated by the conviction that researchers globally deserve access to top-tier tools, the team led by James Stockdale develop cutting-edge technology designed for practical, real-world application. By generating high-quality data, their work aims to deepen our understanding and improve decision-making in environmental management. Their first technology, SkyLine2D, is an autonomous system designed to monitor greenhouse gas emissions from terrestrial landscapes. Before, the same measurements would have taken far longer and been much less accurate whilst also requiring numerous different complicated instruments. Companies like this deserve to be recognised which is why they are one of Yorkshire’s 50 #MostExcitingCompanies 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. #climateaction #innovation #greentechnology #founders #investment #lifeistooshortforboringlawyers James Stockdale Becky Gardner Anna Ashford Ian Leech Fiona Haran Richard Turner Alpaca Insider Media

Understanding Planetary Boundaries: A Path to Nature Positive Future In recent years, the concept of planetary boundaries has emerged as a critical framework for understanding the environmental limits within which humanity can safely operate. Developed by a group of leading scientists from the Stockholm Resilience Center, this framework identifies nine critical Earth system processes that have been altered by human activities to the point of risking the stability and resilience of our planet. Here are the nine planetary boundaries: 1. Climate Change 2. Biosphere Integrity (biodiversity loss and extinctions) 3. Land-System Change 4. Freshwater Use 5. Biogeochemical Flows (nitrogen and phosphorus cycles) 6. Ocean Acidification 7. Atmospheric Aerosol Loading 8. Stratospheric Ozone Depletion 9. Introduction of Novel Entities (chemical pollution) Exceeding these boundaries can lead to irreversible environmental changes, threatening not only ecosystems but also human well-being. As of now, we have already crossed six of these boundaries, particularly in areas like climate change, biodiversity loss, land-system change, freshwater use, biogeochemical flows and introduction of novel entities. To ensure a sustainable future, we must take immediate and collective action towards nature positivity. This includes: - Adopting sustainable practices in all sectors: From agriculture to industry, we need to integrate sustainable methods that reduce our ecological footprint. - Investing in renewable energy: Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is crucial for mitigating climate change. - Protecting and restoring natural habitats: Efforts to conserve biodiversity and restore degraded ecosystems are essential. - Promoting circular economy: Reducing waste and encouraging the reuse and recycling of materials can help maintain the balance of biogeochemical flows. As business leaders, policymakers, and global citizens, it is our responsibility to respect and work within these boundaries. By doing so, we can safeguard the health of our planet for future generations and create a resilient, thriving world for all. Let's commit to making sustainable choices and championing environmental stewardship in our communities and industries. #Sustainability #PlanetaryBoundaries #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalStewardship #CircularEconomy #RenewableEnergy #BiodiversityConservation Source of picture: Stockholm Resilience Center

Is it possible to reconcile #sustainability and #qualityoflife? Yes, say Empa researchers. But it will require some changes: An ecological and good life is what we are striving for – for all 10 billion people. To calculate this, Hauke Schlesier and Harald Desing from Empa's Technology and Society Laboratory and Malte Schäfer from Technische Universität Braunschweig used the so-called doughnut model. A model with two concentric circles where the outer circle represents the limits of key #planetaryboundaries and an inner circle representing that basic #humanneeds have been met. If the outer circle is exceeded, it means irreversible environmental changes are at stake. Today, we are most severely exceeding the inner circle regarding the ⚠️climate system ⚠️biodiversity ⚠️biogeochemical fluxes of nitrogen and phosphorus The most urgent requirement is to rethink the energy system and agriculture. This means: ✅a complete renunciation of fossil fuel ✅a shift in agriculture towards a plant-based diet ✅no further conversion of natural landscapes into farmland ✅an alignment of living standards with basic needs Read on: https://lnkd.in/eibeaVyx Research paper: https://lnkd.in/eSntmMtq Author: Anna Ettlin #doughnuteconomics

“If we can get behind triggering positive tipping points, we've got the chance to accelerate into a much healthier, more vibrant future for us all.” – Professor Tim Lenton Earlier this week, University of Exeter and Global Systems Institute, University of Exeter launched their latest report on positive tipping points. It finds that clean technology mandates could slash carbon emissions in key sectors by at least 75% by 2050 – while also cutting costs for consumers. Our tipping points collection on Open Planet, created in partnership with the University of Exeter, brings together powerful footage, data visualisations and interviews with Professor Tim Lenton to help inspire new storytelling. By sharing more stories about the solutions and what a sustainable future could look like, we can help to inspire action in this critical decade for our planet. 🙌 🎥 Explore our collection and start your story: https://lnkd.in/eWkeSHeR You can also read the full report on positive tipping points here: https://lnkd.in/ens5tceH #OpenPlanet #Storytelling #StoriesForChange #ClimateWeekNY #UNGA79 #TippingPoints #ClimateScience

🌍 Building a new Exciting Partnership with the #SiliconValleyClimateCluster🌍 Biofertech is thrilled to announce our new collaboration with leading experts and researchers in Climate Tech, Climate modelisation & Carbon Offsetting from California. Climate risk modeling involves the use of advanced algorithms and historical climate data to predict and assess the impacts of climate change phenomena, such as extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and sea-level changes. Predictive algorithmics, including machine learning and simulation models, are employed to forecast future scenarios and analyze vulnerabilities across sectors like agriculture, industry and ressource sectors. These models help in developing mitigation strategies, guiding policy decisions, and enhancing disaster preparedness in the face of growing climate uncertainties. Building this partnership represents a major step in our mission to drive global solutions for sustainability and climate action. With a broad vision encompassing resource management, agriculture, mining, industry, and the oil and gas sectors, we're expanding our impact through large-scale projects aimed at decarbonizing industries and fostering ecological transitions. By uniting our expertise with California’s climate leaders, we aim to push boundaries and implement cutting-edge technologies and methodologies in key sectors worldwide. Stay tuned as we embark on this transformative journey! 🌱🌍 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #CarbonOffsetting #ResourceManagement #Agriculture #Mining #Decarbonization #GlobalPartnerships #Innovation
