🌍 How GIS is Saving the World 🌎     At Infinity Technologies, we believe in harnessing our skills to drive positive change. Our recent success story, spearheaded by our very own Jeff Lewis, MS-GIS, highlights the immense potential of #GIS in combating climate change. Through leadership and expertise, we’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of technology on preserving our planet for future generations.     Our world teeters on the brink of collapse, threatened by overfishing and rising temperatures. By strategically implementing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and leveraging data-driven insights, we’ve seen remarkable recoveries in once-decimated kelp forests. Utilizing interactive education and cutting-edge technology, we’re not just preserving ecosystems – we’re saving the world.    Join us in celebrating the power of innovation, the relentless pursuit of environmental conservation, and Jeff Lewis’s inspiring leadership. A brighter future is powered by Infinity Technologies. #TechforGood #GISPower #Leadership #Innovation 

🆕 A new framework for climate and impact attribution of compound extremes will be developed within the new European project COMPASS. The project will be led by Deltares. “Climate change is already increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as storms, heatwaves, and droughts. Such events can have devastating societal impacts, and it is becoming increasingly clear that the most impactful disasters are often the result of a complex interplay of multiple physical and societal drivers.” Sanne Muis, coordinator of COMPASS. 🧭 COMPASS will innovate by going from the attribution of single-driver extremes to the attribution of more complex extremes (including compounding, sequential and cascading hazard events) and enabling a shift from a hazard-centred analysis to an impact-centred perspective. 🖥 Deltares will focus on water-related hazards and develop an automated workflow that uses a combination of the Delft3D Flexible Mesh, SIFNCS and Wflow software. 🤝 The COMPASS consortium consists of Deltares (Netherlands), Met Office (UK), PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Uniwersytet Szczeciński (Poland), Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre (Netherlands), and @SEVEN (Greece). The project officially kicked off on 5 and 6 February 2024, when the consortium members met in Delft.

In the work I do at Earth Finance, I see everyday that the large companies, with complex value chains and net zero strategies, require and rely on innovative technologies to achieve their goals. Being able to meet their need is vital not only to their success, but also for an emerging technology startup’s success. In this episode (our third which I think officially makes this a series 🤠), we talk basics of securing the business and trust of a large customer when they take a chance on your new tech and aim to scale it across their business.

Jaron Lotan, Executive Director of the BIRD Foundation, recognizes unprecedented opportunities in the challenges presented by climate change. In his recent Op-Ed featured in The Times of Israel, Lotan discusses the crucial role of climate tech innovation and cross-border collaboration in addressing the escalating climate crisis. The BIRD Foundation, through its longstanding BIRD Energy program and its recently launched U.S.-Israel Energy Center, serves as a pivotal platform for developing the transformative technologies needed to tackle and adapt to climate challenges. A greener future hinges on the collaboration of ingenious minds working together to create novel and scalable climate tech solutions. This embodies BIRD's mission, and Lotan is optimistic about its potential to drive innovation, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient world. 🔗Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ewusqgRR #climatetech #climatechange #sustainability #BIRDgrants #US #Israel #collaboration #greenfuture #RandD #technology #innovation

🚨 New commission alert! Geoengineeeing had been kicking around in my brain as an idea worth investigating for a while, & Stephen Robert Miller brought this story vividly to life, with great editing work from Tami Abdollah! Can we afford to let profit-motivated ventures take a stab at the climate? Can we afford NOT to? Please take a look, and let me know your thoughts! #geoengineering #climatechange #siliconvalley

Glad to see others realizing the power of ocean data collaboration. The OCN ecosystem has cracked the code in how to incentivise such a data collaboration as well as model the valuation of blue natural capital that fuels a revolution. I’ve said it plenty of times but the ocean is the superweapon against climate change. Turning lack of data to valuable marketable data is our specialty. Our ocean risk score is key to identifying how well or not well various areas perform under stress. We can do this because we are part of a network of folks who share data. https://lnkd.in/gy2Hxq82
