How Scotland is responding to the impact of climate change on people and the planet

One of the most important components of our climate change journey is around our relationship with land use, agriculture, and food production.?

Thinking more creatively about food production can decrease our emissions and cut down on our food waste. Ongoing data intelligence will be critical in allowing us to assess changes in natural capital, understand land use across the globe, and help us take the necessary actions to achieve net zero.

Having such data can help us act on nature based solutions, like restoring our peatlands, woodlands, hedges and species rich grasslands. Environmental monitoring can provide the crucial real time live data for decision makers.?

It will also help to achieve net zero natural resource management on land.

The pace of environmental and technological change continues to rapidly increase each day. Predicting such changes will be crucial for future climate technologies to emerge into the market.?

Scotland has strengths in both domains.

Scotland's race to net zero

Join us on Friday 25 March at Scotland's Race to Net Zero: Food Security and Environmental Monitoring Day at the UK Pavilion at Expo 2020 in Dubai. We will showcase some of Scotland’s most innovative companies,which are actively working around farming, nature, food and peatland restoration, as well as those taking steps towards real time environmental monitoring.

Ahead of the curve

How are Scotland’s companies leading the way in climate tech solutions in the net zero transition?

Meet the companies showcasing their technology at our event next week:

"It's my vision that within the next two to three years, vertical farms will be successfully and profitably operated by our customers on six continents. We predict many of these will be fully integrated with traditional farming methods."? David Farquhar, CEO, Intelligent Growth Systems

Intelligent Growth Systems has invented a way to grow a year-round supply of crops in vertical towers, producing a harvest that's organic, reliable and sustainable.



Topolytics is a leading 'wastetech'? company, aggregating and analysing data at scale to make the world’s waste visible, verifiable and valuable. Michael Groves, CEO, Topolytics

Topolytics's mission is to be the leading waste and resources analytics business for organisations that generate waste through their operations and products.



"Trade in Space turn satellite data into commodity trade contracts; moving beyond actionable insight, into a new era of transactionable insight."? Robin Sampson, Founder and Managing Director, Trade in Space

Trade in Space integrate remote sensing data into supply chain management systems, and blockchain applications.




"We’re applying advanced satellite analysis to land management and the result is a huge step forward in tackling the climate emergency."? Murray Collins, CEO, Space Intelligence

Space Intelligence are world leaders in providing insights to support nature based solutions development, ESG assessments, and natural capital monitoring.



"With 90% of the planet lacking traditional communications infrastructure, we provide resilient end-to-end data services for businesses looking to make the most of their data to improve efficiency and sustainability."? Allan Cannon, CEO and Co-founder, R3-IOT

R3-IoT is a cutting-edge satellite-communications scale-up that has developed technology to provide continuous quality, actionable data insights from the remotest locations on earth.?



"?In the transition to net zero and sustainable operations, farmers and agriculture enterprises across the value chain need to monitor, report and verify impact."? Phil McLachlan, CEO, D-CAT

D-CAT is a rare specialist satellite remote sensing software service, data analytics and AI company.

Absolutely love this article, Climate Emergency - this is where we are at, we are way past 911. There is enough climate smart technology, (often viewed as disruptive water security technology), available today that has enough intelligence to integrate with natrural water resources (when available) and act as a bunker or water feed when natural water resources fail. We need to design IOT platforms that can be deployed to address and monitor the ENSO "Shorter Wetter - Longer Drier" climate change syndrome that affects water distressed regions. Why are we not looking at this tech that may soon be the only tech available to provide drinking water for civilization if our carbon footprint does not reduce drastically.
