Category: Eywa Explains Abstract / Executive Summary Climate finance depends on more than identifying projects that promise environmental benefits. Funders, governments and investors need credible evidence that financed activities deliver measurable results, comply with applicable requirements and justify the allocation of capital. Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) provides the foundation for establishing this evidence, while […]
Category: What’s Happening Abstract / Executive Summary Environmental data increasingly underpins decisions about climate mitigation, forest conservation, biodiversity, environmental permitting and climate finance. Governments and development organisations rely on digital registries, geospatial platforms, remote sensing, field data collection and reporting systems to monitor environmental change and demonstrate compliance with national and international commitments. Yet the […]
Category: Eywa Explains Abstract / Executive Summary National carbon registries are becoming essential components of the digital infrastructure used to administer carbon markets, track mitigation outcomes and support international climate cooperation. Yet a functioning registry does not automatically guarantee credible carbon credits. Trust depends on the quality of the underlying evidence, the rules governing transactions […]
Category: Eywa Explains Abstract / Executive Summary Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+), connects forest monitoring with climate mitigation and results-based finance. Its credibility depends on a transparent chain of evidence: observing forest change, estimating […]
Category: Ideas & Perspectives Abstract / Executive Summary For more than two decades, digital transformation has often been equated with digitisation: converting paper records into digital formats, moving services online, and automating administrative processes. While these initiatives improve operational efficiency, growing evidence from governments, international institutions, and digital governance research suggests that digitisation alone does […]
Category: What’s happening Abstract / Executive Summary Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping environmental monitoring from a reactive reporting exercise into a near real-time decision-support capability. Advances in satellite remote sensing, computer vision, acoustic monitoring, and machine learning now allow governments and conservation organisations to detect deforestation, identify methane emissions, monitor biodiversity, and forecast environmental risks […]
