Скачать или смотреть On-demand webinar: Environmental benefits of GeoAI for artisanal & small-scale mining

In this webinar from September 2023, we delved into the world of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), a vital sector that sustains many communities globally. Kenneth Davis, Programme Officer at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), joined Pierrick Poulenas, CEO of Picterra, to discuss how geospatial technology can significantly impact this sector and contribute to responsible mining practices.

Participants delved into:

Setting the Scene: Receive an overview of the challenges and opportunities associated with ASM, emphasizing its economic and social significance, beyond the perspective of UNEP.
Regulatory Evolution: Learn about the global efforts, including but not limited to UNEP, to improve regulations and establish comprehensive frameworks that empower miners to operate responsibly and sustainably.

Technology as a Solution: Discover how cutting-edge technologies, such as remote sensing and geoAI, are being harnessed by various organizations to monitor activities, minimize environmental impact, and protect biodiversity.

Partnerships for Progress: Gain insights into the collaborative initiatives between governments, tech innovators (including Picterra), NGOs, and intergovernmental organizations like UNEP, aimed at fostering sustainable practices and uplifting communities dependent on mining.

Sustainability and Empowerment: Understand the diverse strategies that are designed to protect our planet while also supporting the livelihoods of those who depend on artisanal and small-scale mining.
