🗾 Today is Disaster Prevention Day in Japan — a fitting day to share my second #GPDRR 2025 blog. ✍️ I co-wrote this piece with Andiswa Mlisa at Pacific Community-SPC, reflecting on her exchange with the President of Palau. It was a powerful reminder of why we must continue to strengthen #DigitalEarthPacific for the Pacific Islands 🏝️. 🙏A heartfelt thank you to Jenty Kirsch-Wood and Iria Touzon Calle Calle for having me on the Organizing Team of the session they led, where the President of Palau gave a keynote that left us all inspired. 🛰️ Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/ebumBRuR

🥵 This summer in Japan, the urban humidity and extreme heat were unbearable — I could feel my productivity vanish in the heat. 🔥 That personal experience has strengthened my determination to help drive GEO’s Global Heat Resilience Service (GHRS) forward. At #GPDRR 2025, I wrote about how GHRS is now in development with cities like São Paulo, Bangalore, and Freetown, and how it can turn data into decisions for resilience. 👉 This is the first of my four blogs from GPDRR — and also my second blog in this new journey of writing. 🔗 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/edXxksdT

“Nature is our ally.” That was the powerful message delivered by Tim Christophersen (Salesforce VP for Climate Action and a former UN Environment Programme senior official) in an interview with Rhett Ayers Butler for Mongabay. His reflections resonate deeply with the mission of the GEO-convened Global Ecosystems Atlas: - We are the first generation with the knowledge, technology and financial capacity to restore entire biomes. The Atlas will make that knowledge accessible, actionable and globally connected. - Public–private collaboration is essential. The Atlas is being built with partners across borders and sectors to create a shared foundation for decision-making. - Ecosystem restoration is critical to tackling climate change. The Atlas will provide the data and insights needed to plan, prioritise and monitor this at scale. - Finance is key. As initiatives like Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) make nature an investable asset class, the Atlas helps define and measure ecosystem services to guide investment. Tim’s call is clear: rebuilding humanity’s ties to nature is essential. The Global Ecosystems Atlas is one way we’re answering that call. Link to article in first comment. #MapEcosystems
