Geospatial AI for Climate and Nature – San Francisco 2025

Geospatial AI for Climate and Nature: How can we use AI to map, model, and regenerate the planet—starting with the world’s forests? Diego Saez Gil and Stuart Cowan explore the rise of geospatial AI, the role of open data and shared algorithms, and new coalition efforts like Symbiosis that are channeling billions into high-quality nature-based carbon projects. From forest canopy maps to digital twins of bioregions, this conversation lays out a vision where tech, science, and stewardship converge. Speakers: Diego Saez Gil (Pachama), Stuart Cowan (Buckminster Fuller Institute) This session was part of the 12th edition of Funding the Commons, held March 15–16, 2025, at the Internet Archive in San Francisco.
