Greening the Worlds 10,000 cities - underpinned with near real-time environmental satellite data.
Our cities are some of the the most at risk when it comes to climate change. By making easily accessible urban greening data we can build in climate resilience, and ensure we create healthy vibrant communities adaptable to weather shocks.
Building the climate resilient cities of the future.
Land Surface Temperature Mapping
Prompted to act on climate change; we came together to ensure people living in cities have access to nature. To help them easily understand the status of their 'Green Infrastructure' for making ongoing built enviornment decisions.
Some great milestones we've hit:
The Time To Act Is Now...
