On 31 May at 16:00-17:00 CET, BC3 is pleased to invite you to this EU Green Week partner event to give you an online tour through the first AI technology for rapid natural capital accounting (NCA): the ARIES for SEEA Explorer!

After the great success of the Explorer’s launch event, this webinar will focus on showing the many benefits of this open-source and pioneering tool that will make it easier for countries to measure the contributions of nature to their economic prosperity and well being.

AI-powered technologies can monitor the environment, help us understand our carbon footprint and thus, accelerate our response towards reaching zero pollution for air, water and soil. Ken Bagstad, Research Economist at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and NCA Specialist at ARIES, will show participants the impact of this groundbreaking tool in assessing progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the emerging post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

This event aims at providing an overview of the ARIES for SEEA Explorer to NCA experts working in think tanks, NGOs, European institutions and the scientific community at large. During the tour, participants will be able to raise questions through the chatbox of the online platform Zoom that will be replied at the end of the webinar.
