[Responsible-digital-futures] Environmental Intelligence

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


This webinar recording from GEO Work Programme might be of interest.


The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is a partnership of more than 100
national governments and in excess of 100 Participating Organizations that
envisions a future where decisions and actions for the benefit of humankind
are informed by coordinated, comprehensive and sustained Earth
observations. Details at https://earthobservations.org


Earth observation data, combined with Indigenous governance and local
knowledge, is key to stronger disaster resilience, climate adaptation and
biodiversity stewardship. During the GEO Open House Webinar, James Rattling
Leaf from the GEO Indigenous Alliance made a powerful case for reframing
how we think about Earth observation and who it serves. James explained how
the GEO Indigenous Alliance connects what satellites can detect and what
communities on the ground experience.

Sabina Leonelli’s new paper, published in the Harvard Data Science Review,
sets out a powerful and timely vision for Environmental Intelligence as an
alternative framework to dominant models of AI. One that centres human
values, environmental stewardship, and socially responsible innovation.
