remote sensing

Diego Saez Gil explains how Pachama applies remote sensing and machine learning to make forest carbon projects easier to verify and monitor. The company also connects forest restoration and conservation projects directly with companies seeking carbon credits, aiming to improve transparency and direct more funding to forests. The talk covers carbon markets, forest project types, data sources, and the technical challenges of measuring carbon and biodiversity. Saez Gil also discusses Pachama’s early growth, fundraising, and the broader role of technology and regulation in addressing climate change.
