Tackling the Biodiversity and Climate Challenge With AI, Net Zero, and Nature Positive

In this episode of Earth Central, host Alex Wowra speaks with Karl Burkart, Deputy Director of One Earth, about the intersection of climate science, biodiversity conservation, and emerging technologies. Karl shares the journey of developing the One Earth Climate Model, a pioneering effort to map a path to net zero using nature-based solutions.

They discuss the critical role of geospatial data and AI in tracking deforestation, improving carbon credit integrity, and shaping climate policy. Karl also dives into the challenges of corporate sustainability reporting, the need for better land cover mapping, and how global initiatives like 30x30 and nature-positive frameworks are reshaping environmental action.

Join us for a compelling conversation on how science-driven strategies can accelerate the transition to a more sustainable world.
