🌍 As the Earth Observation for Sustainable Development (EO4SD) initiative comes to a close, we reflect on the impactful journey of the Forest Management theme (EO4SD-FM), celebrated on July 4th at ESA’s ESRIN facility. 🛰️ Over the course of the project, our collaborative efforts have enabled the mapping of 𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐤𝐦² and the 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝟏𝟔𝟕 𝐄𝐎-𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬. These efforts have supported sustainability projects across South America, Africa, and Asia. 🔗 Explore these achievements and help us hit 50K views on our website before it concludes! 🌳 As EO4SD-FM comes to an end, our mission continues. ESA's new Global Development Assistance (GDA) initiative is preparing to take over with a continued focus on forest management, so stay tuned! 🤝 A heartfelt thank you to our partners GAF AG (the Prime), CLS Group (Collecte Localisation Satellites), Wageningen University & Research, Hatfield, and Indufor Ltd, and to our ESA Technical Officer Frank Martin Seifert for their commitment and expertise. 👋 Thank you to everyone involved.

If you're an impact-focused organization looking to determine the most efficient evidence-synthesis strategies read Niamh Barry's latest blog:
🔊 Cutting through the noise with impact evidence synthesis With more organisations publishing learnings and the proliferation of #AI tools supporting curation of insights, it should be easier for impact-focused orgs to determine the most efficient strategies to achieve their goals. In reality, many struggle to determine what data can be meaningfully used to support their strategic ambitions and what is just noise. 💡 At Caribou Digital, we believe in the power of collective knowledge and are strong proponents of using impact evidence synthesis to reveal targeted, impact-focused insights. In my team's new article, we share: ◾ The benefits we have seen through leveraging impact evidence synthesis for multiple clients on diverse topics ◾The need to improve upon prevailing impact evidence synthesis norms ◾How we have refined our processes to more meaningfully connect insights to decisions ◾Diversifying our evidence synthesis products to transform engagement and drive impactful decisions. This is an exciting time to work on evidence synthesis. With innovative new tools and processes, there are more possibilities to advance its efficiency, accuracy, diversity, and inclusivity. 🤝 We are keen to connect with users and practitioners to refine and perfect these approaches. Please DM me with any feedback or questions about our approach! https://lnkd.in/eg_2vPFv #GenAI #impactevidence #measurement #Innovation #Socialimpact #Data Elise M.
