The symposium "Amazon 2030- Sustainability Issues in the World´s Largest Rainforests Region" is being organised by the Inter-University Sustainable Development Programme (IUSDRP), the International Climate Change Information and Research Programme (ICCIRP), Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), Manchester Metropolitan University (UK) and the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA), in collaboration with various organisations.

After two weeks of tense talks, the recent UN Biodiversity Conference COP15 ended with a landmark agreement to guide global action on nature through to 2030. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), includes concrete measures to halt and reverse nature loss, including putting 30% of the planet and 30% of degraded ecosystems under protection by 2030. 

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Application of NASA SPoRT-Land Information System (SPoRT-LIS) Soil Moisture Data for Drought. This 3-part webinar series is focused on the introduction of the NASA Land Information System (LIS) output of soil moisture at various depths for drought analysis and monitoring. Examples from operational applications as well as practice exercises (for using LIS data for drought monitoring) will be included in this course. Access to the SPoRT-LIS products via online viewer, in GIS formats, and GIS-based display tools, will also be included. Moreover, self-paced microlessons will be available to help users confirm their understanding and improve their skill via homework lessons between live sessions.

Webinar Recomendación 39 de la CEDAW: Retos para su cumplimiento en América Latina

En el marco de la Segunda reunión de la Conferencia de las Partes del Acuerdo de Escazú (COP2 Escazú), la Plataforma Latinoamericana de Defensores y Defensoras de la Tierra y Territorio contra el Extractivismo, Oxfam, la Coalición Nacional por la Tierra ENI Argentina y la International Land Coalition América Latina y el Caribe llevaremos adelante "Tensiones y riesgos de los defensores y defensoras ambientales en América Latina"

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new online introductory webinar series: Fundamentals of Machine Learning for Earth Science. This three-part training, presented in English and Spanish, is open to the public and will provide attendees an overview of machine learning in regards to Earth Science, and how to apply these algorithms and techniques to remote sensing data in a meaningful way. Attendees will also be provided with end-to-end case study examples for generating a simple random forest model for land cover classification from optical remote sensing. We will also present additional case studies to apply the presented workflows using additional NASA data.

SEGUNDA REUNIÓN DE LA CONFERENCIA DE LAS PARTES DEL ACUERDO REGIONAL SOBRE EL ACCESO A LA INFORMACIÓN, LA PARTICIPACIÓN PÚBLICA Y EL ACCESO A LA JUSTICIA EN ASUNTOS AMBIENTALES EN AMÉRICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE

Buenos Aires, 19 a 21 de abril de 2023

El 5º Foro de Vivienda y Hábitat Latinoamérica y el Caribe - Responder a la crisis climática y social se llevará a cabo del 31 al 2 de agosto de 2023 en Bogotá, Colombia

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new online advanced webinar series: Crop Mapping using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical Remote Sensing. This three-part training, presented in English and Spanish, is open to the public and builds on previous ARSET agricultural trainings. Here we present more advanced radar remote sensing techniques using polarimetry and a canopy structure dynamic model to monitor crop growth. The training will also cover methods that use machine learning methods to classify crop type using a time series of Sentinel-1 & Sentinel-2 imagery. This series will include practical exercises using the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) and Python code written in Python Jupyter Notebooks, a web-based interactive development environment for scientific computing and machine learning.

IATI will host its annual Members' Assembly and Community Exchange in-person in Copenhagen (UN City) between Monday 13 and Thursday 16 March 2023.
