Between COVID-19 and climate change: Opportunity beckons for OSGoF vanguardnews
CURRENTLY the impact of climate change on the environmental resources of nations could be likened to the rampaging effect of COVID-19 on both the economies and social lives of nations. Just as COVID-19 is changing the way we’re used to living and creating new normal, climate change is equally causing seasonal changes that are upturning and fiercely disrupting the ecosystem/eco balance which impacts is affecting the way we live also.
Carbon Tracker, Earthrise Alliance, Hudson Carbon, Hypervine, OceanMind and Rocky Mountain Institute as founding members to unveil Climate TRACE, a coalition creating a high-tech solution to independently detect emissions and where they’re coming from, everywhere in the world, in real time. It’s a feat that’s never before been possible – until now”.
Our first-of-its-kind global coalition will leverage advanced AI, satellite image processing, machine learning, and land-and sea-based sensors to do what was previously thought to be nearly impossible: monitor Green House Gas emissions from every sector and in every part of the world. This intervention is exploring the windows of opportunity presented by this emerging global coalition “Climate TRACE” in expanding the frontiers of services provided by the OSGoF. To track the defaulters or significant human-caused GHG emissions in Nigeria to the unprecedented details and speed as envisioned by the coalition is a job already cut out for OSGoF.
OSGoF has over the years significantly upgraded its facilities to deliver digital maps from the analogue paper ones in trying to meet the dictates of a demand-driven geospatial industry market against the old supply-driven geospatial market which it was a major player. There’s really nothing new being advocated here but rather this intervention is only speaking to the need for us to refocus our attention and deploy the tools already in our arsenal in line with the vision of the SG.
