Indicators Of Economic Development

🌍 Our planet’s systems might look stable, but beneath the surface, cracks are widening. In collaboration with scientific publisher Frontiers, a new World Economic Forum report has identified emerging technologies that can help restore planetary health from green concrete that stores carbon, to next-gen desalination that turns waste into value. Hear it from report author and Head of Planetary Solutions, Helen Burdett, and explore the full report: https://www.weforum.org/publications/10-emerging-

In the next 5-10 years, it’s ‘inevitable’ the planet will breach 1.5°C of global warming on a more permanent basis, after it touched the boundary for the first time in 2024, says Johan Rockström, Director of PIK Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The situation is urgent - but far from hopeless. With the world’s leaders set to assemble at the #COP30 climate conference from 10-21 November, Rockström names 3 priorities to help minimize the overshoot and get the planet back to 1.5°C by t

These robots are being used to build detailed maps of forests, with the aim of improving management and conservation. They have been developed as part of the #DigiForest project, which involves Oxford Robotics Institute and partners across Europe. Researchers are also using #drones, backpack-mounted laser scanners, and a mapping and analysis tool to monitor forests 7 times faster than traditional methods. Here’s how it works. AI is becoming an increasingly important tool in #forest management an
