About
Eradicating poverty, reducing inequalities, and achieving sustainable development in the Global South should mobilize our common interests, in a way fostering an inclusive and green transition in the emerging digital age. It requires a cultural movement throughout all areas of knowledge to promote the use of data derived from Earth Observation systems in combination with other advanced data acquisition and processing systems, to enable innovative policies and practices driven by new research dealing with complex landscapes, including those in vulnerable urban areas and rural landscapes.
K4P Alliances is a joint venture aiming to stimulate institutional collaboration and initiatives aimed at achieving the goal of carbon neutrality, or "net zero", by 2050, through long-term sustainable pilot projects in Latin America and Africa that foster research and innovation activities with the active participation of local communities.
