Environmental stewardship groups are vital to thriving, climate-ready communities. Drawing on 20 years of U.S. Forest Service data from the Stewardship Mapping and Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) and social infrastructure research, this panel will examine findings from a forthcoming report by Yale School of the Environment scholars. Panelists will discuss how local care networks build climate res...

Estimates of the direct land area required by energy technologies began as rough approximations built on limited data from literature. Methods have rapidly advanced in the past decade—from supervised classification to deep learning of earth observation imagery—enabling a greater understanding of the land implications of energy decisions across spatial and temporal scales.
