🏆 Good news! #EarthMap, a pioneering initiative by FAO that leverages freely available archives of geospatial data for climate and environment monitoring and mapping has been honoured with a Google Geo for Good Impact Award. The award, celebrating users and organizations creating real-world impact using Google’s mapping tools, recognizes the initiative as an important instrument for policymakers and other stakeholders to make informed decisions and drive positive actions for a more sustainable future. “Achieving the global goals on climate change, biodiversity and environment requires changing the way we produce, distribute, process, retail and consume our food. Sustainably transforming our agrifood systems hinges on harnessing key data and information to inform policies, guide investments and drive actions. That is exactly what Earth Map brings in support of the stakeholders working on the frontlines of climate and food security,’’ said Maria Helena Semedo, FAO Deputy Director-General, welcoming the award. https://lnkd.in/dY-M5vCr
