Goals
This paper aims to inspire public and private sector decision-makers to use spatial intelligence as an enabler for integrated nature and climate action. To achieve this, it showcases a range of emerging data sources and technologies in the nature and climate-tech space, including eDNA.
To enable governments, businesses and finance to act, spatial intelligence needs to be available to help prioritise and track location-specific actions for nature and climate.
Anyone with an interest in the role of spatial intelligence as an enabler for integrated action on nature and climate. The whitepaper includes a prediction of the potential impact, an overview of emerging technology and trends, and recommendations for increasing uptake.
About SPACES
SPACES is an emerging coalition that mobilises spatial intelligence to support governments, businesses, financial institutions, funders, and investors in achieving climate and nature goals.
SPACES is coordinated by the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) and SYSTEMIQ, working with UNDP, IIASA and IIS, among other partners. It aims to support the use of spatial intelligence in achieving national climate and nature objectives, by implementing and accelerating spatial planning in countries.

Using data for climate, nature and people
NatureMetrics, featured in this report, operates across the data value chain (visualised below). eDNA is the only technology that can track the whole tree of life, and NatureMetrics’s solutions are being used across the world.
eBioAtlas, our flagship philanthropic project, has been identified as a key initiative for rapidly increasing the amount of publicly available data to baseline ‘Nature Positive’. The project remains open to funding opportunities.
In today's rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, the need for organizations to understand their alignment with nature-related regulations has never been more critical. The results from our recent Nature Maturity Assessment reveal significant insights into the readiness of various industries to comply with these emerging standards. This blog will delve into the key findings of our assessment, the importance of understanding where companies stand, and the next steps to ensure compliance and leadership in nature-positive initiatives.
