SUMMARY:BioSpace25 - Biodiversity insight from Space
DESCRIPTION:BACKGROUND \nBIOSPACE25 is the first international conference exclusively dedicated to the application of Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) across the various dimensions of biodiversity\, and addressing the use of Earth Observations in all realms\, from terrestrial\, freshwater\, coastal to marine ecosystems. \nIt is the first edition of a series of BIOSPACE conferences that ESA and its partners intend to organise on a regular basis and which aim to bring together an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral community of experts in biodiversity and conservation\, made of specialists in satellite remote sensing for biodiversity\, biodiversity scientists\, field ecologists\, biodiversity monitoring practitioners\, data providers and biodiversity policy stakeholders from governments\, international organizations and NGOs. \nThe goal of the BIOSPACE conferences is to offer insightful exploration of critical biodiversity challenges that Earth Observation systems should primarily address\, to showcase cutting-edge SRS solutions in different biodiversity domains\, and to foster collaborative efforts to advance the use and impact of Earth Observation in biodiversity science\, monitoring and policy implementation. \nThe BIOSPACE25 conference is organised jointly by the European Space Agency\, the European Commission\, the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) and the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS)\, in collaboration with a number of partner organisations. \nOBJECTIVES \nThe BIOSPACE25 conference aims to present state-of-the-art SRS methodologies and technological solutions for biodiversity\, to explore their uptake across various biodiversity domains\, and to review the challenges that need to be primarily addressed to enhance the use of Earth Observations in biodiversity research and monitoring. The ultimate objective is to highlight the importance of collaborative efforts to integrate SRS technology at the forefront of biodiversity research\, monitoring systems\, and policy development and implementation strategies\, and provide robust and cost-effective EO solutions that help countries implement effective National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). \nParticipants will gain insights into the latest development in Space-based biodiversity monitoring\, engage in discussions on the integration of SRS technology into biodiversity research\, monitoring\, and policy development and implementation\, and contribute to shaping future directions in the field of biodiversity monitoring from Space. \nKey scientific discussion topics include:  \n\nenhancing the fundamental understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics;\nexploring the links between biodiversity and ecosystem integrity;\nassessing the status of ecosystems and quantifying the impacts of the main direct drivers of changes;\nunderstanding the adverse impacts of climate change on biodiversity;\ninvestigating the main evolutionary changes of biodiversity and better predicting their trajectories;\nimplementing transformative changes such as Nature-Based Solutions (NBS);\nprioritizing\, designing and monitoring conservation/restoration actions.\n\nThe conference will also cover policy-related aspects such as the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030\, as well as the needs for financial institutions and companies to integrate nature-related risks and dependencies into their decision-making processes (e.g. TNFD). \nCONFERENCE STRUCTURE \nThe conference is designed to be dynamic and participatory\, featuring interactive sessions to review the importance of SRS technology in the different biodiversity domains. \nThe BIOSPACE25 conference will include: \n\nplenary sessions with invited speakers to present and discuss the importance of Earth Observations to address critical biodiversity issues.\nthematic sessions (based on abstracts submissions) that will provide insights into the latest advancements in leveraging SRS technology for biodiversity science and monitoring.\nsmall participatory workshops (based on workshop proposals) to foster dialogues on key aspects of biodiversity.\nposter sessions providing a platform for participants to showcase their projects\, facilitating networking and exchange of ideas.\n\nThe deadline for submission of abstracts and workshop proposals is 20 October 2024. \n For further information\, please go to the main website at\n https://biospace25.esa.int \n
