🌍 The Role of the Quadruple Helix in Advancing Citizen Science for Climate Action To tackle the complex issue of climate change, we need collaboration from all corners—this is where the Quadruple Helix comes in! 🎯 This innovative model brings together academia, industry, government, and civil society, driving real change through citizen science. 🔬 Academia ensures data accuracy and turns findings into action. 💼 Industry provides the tools, funding, and tech. 🏛 Government creates policies and ensures citizen science informs decisions. 👥 Civil Society mobilizes communities and ensures the people's voice is heard. At ScienceUs, we’re using this powerful approach to support sustainable climate action across Europe. #CitizenScience #HorizonEurope #ScienceUs Read more here 👇 https://lnkd.in/d6Ew6JnD

If you don't know what's broken, you can't fix it! Learn how there's a solution for #ClimateChange that is: ✅ Economically viable ✅ Based on science (rather than fear!) ✅ Harmonised with nature Learn more: https://bit.ly/3NGUdOi #Envisionation #EarthVision #SaveThePlanet

How can we reduce harm to our planet and the future prospects of life on Earth? How can we turn the tide to regenerate Earth’s systems while enabling societies to flourish? These fundamental questions are at the heart of the Media Lab's #FutureWorlds research theme, which seeks to confront the urgent challenges of supplying affordable energy, food, and security for sustained life on Earth—for all living beings. Our researchers are helping to invent transformative technologies and adapt human behavior at an unprecedented scale at this critical time in history. https://lnkd.in/gFxPZURK

While the global economy has become a planetary-scale "superorganism," our data remains siloed and fragmented. Without federated insights, we're flying blind into the post-stable climate era, unable to comprehend the true state of our interconnected ecosystems. The 1.5°C target is slipping away, yet we lack the integrated data and systemic understanding to chart an effective course. #dataFederalization #climateResilience #ecosystemCollapse #speculativeDesign #planetaryIntelligence

🚀 UC Berkeley has just unveiled a revolutionary computer vision-based system that monitors seasonal dynamics of tropical water bodies. This breakthrough technology penetrates dense vegetation and clouds to provide critical data for environmental and humanitarian efforts. From improving flood prediction to supporting climate change research, this tool has the potential to make a global impact. 🌍 Discover more about how this innovation can shape our future!

A very interesting panel discussion on Practical Reproducibility in Climate Science with a focus on creating links between industry and research. The #ClimateInformatics 2024 conference has been incredibly insightful and eye-opening by discussing some difficult topics such as ethical implications in AI with Climate Science. A major drive for climate data and software to move towards open source for collaborative working to improve model robustness and reproducibility is a positive change for the future.

The digital data-access divide highlighted in the infographic below paints a concerning picture. As developed countries continue to harness the power of AI with larger volumes of training data, the gap between them and EMDEs is only set to widen.

If you are attending #AGU24, consider submitting an abstract to the session I am convening with my colleagues Mark SubbaRao and Brenda L.. We invite submissions that feature innovative forms of climate related science communication through data visualizations, narratives, interactive experiences, and physical exhibitions. Details for the session, including the full session overview and link to submit an abstract, can be found below!

This model describes the boundaries within which human life as we know it can be preserved for future generations. The ability of science to quantify these limits is powerful and insightful. However, it is deeply concerning that as of 2023, we have crossed 6 out of 9 dimensions. #PlanetaryBoundaries. Check out more information here: https://lnkd.in/dRvjzay7
