CLIMATE NEXT: The Essential Mangrove
Absorption of carbon dioxide, preservation of biodiversity, the reversal of coastal erosion, and the filtering of pollutants play a critical role in creating a sustainable future. In episode one of a four-part documentary series from AWS, we explore how mangroves play an essential role in protecting African communities from the impacts of climate change. Follow student-led YouthMappers and Digital Earth Africa in the quest to help communities gain fast access to decision-ready satellite data to prioritize restoration efforts of Mangroves along African coastlines.

LOS ANGELES: Plant a tree, Grow a Community
Nature-based climate solutions like tree planting can help mitigate climate change through air pollution reduction and carbon sequestration, but tree cover is often unequally distributed in many cities. Disadvantaged and low-income communities have 15.2% less tree cover and are 1.5 °C hotter than high-income areas. The Nature Conservancy is helping the City of Los Angeles achieve its goal by using data and AWS infrastructure to support Esri StoryMaps to increase tree cover in underserved communities.
