New Technologies

New climate change technologies aren’t just miracle machines that take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and turn it into products. New technologies also concern forest monitoring and management, or as Eustafor puts it: “ new approaches such as mapping forest carbon potential or modelling species’ suitability based on site conditions are a regular part of today’s forest management planning strategies to make forests fit for the future climate”.

This video from CIFOR highlights research in Indonesia about the use of new technologies in forest monitoring, which can help reduce deforestation that drives climate change.
