 With Climate and AI on the Davos agenda this week, how can the two come together? 🌍🖥️ Enter Net Zero Plus... The University of Exeter programme is uncovering how AI tools can enhance efforts to restore nature and assist the UK Government's target of planting 500,000 trees by 2050. 🌳🌿 In December last year, the programme even hosted the UK's first 'AI for Net Zero' conference! 🖥️ Now, researchers from Exeter and UCL are developing 'digital twins' of ecosystems to support the creation of new woodlands and forests. 🦋 These tools will help the UK's policymakers and landholders - including National Trust, Network Rail, The Woodland Trust, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and Forestry England - make the most informed decisions about how and where new trees can be planted for maximum positive impact. 🪴 Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gCeaeX7F #AI #NetZero #Davos Bateman Ian LEEP Institute

A new breakthrough could help doctors detect cancer earlier—using just a routine blood test. 🩸 Scientists at the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Exeter have developed an algorithm that factors in age and sex to better assess raised blood platelet levels, a potential early warning sign of cancer. Research on over six million adults suggests this approach could identify 10,000 cancer cases a year before diagnosis. A pilot is already underway in Devon, and if rolled out nationwide, this could be a game-changer for early detection and saving lives. Read the full story 👉 https://lnkd.in/e26C-PEF

🌍 The new Nature and Climate Impact Team are on the ground at Davos this week to answer a key question... How can leaders navigate a changing geopolitical and economic landscape to turbocharge climate action? 🚵♂️ As we call halftime on this crucial decade for protecting our natural environment, their arrival comes at the perfect moment. The new team - established at University of Exeter after a generous philanthropic gift, and led by Professor Gail Uncontrollable Wildfires Whiteman - will be working hard to activate positive change in key sectors, starting with food, consumer goods, and digital technologies.

📝NEW REPORT: The global economy could face a 50% loss in GDP between 2070 and 2090, unless immediate policy action is taken to decarbonise and restore nature. Published today, ‘Planetary Solvency – finding our balance with nature’ is the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’s fourth report in collaboration with University of Exeter climate scientists Professor Tim Lenton and Jesse F Abrams. It explores a framework for global management of climate risks and shows how this approach can support future prosperity. Read the report below or on the IFOA's website 👉 https://lnkd.in/e5RxeBFg 🗣️ “You can’t have an economy without a society, and a society needs somewhere to live," says lead author Sandy Trust. "Nature is our foundation, providing food, water and air, as well as the raw materials and energy that power our economy. Threats to the stability of this foundation are risks to future human prosperity which we must take action to avoid. “Widely used but deeply flawed assessments of the economic impact of climate change show a negligible impact on GDP, rendering policymakers blind to the immense risk current policy trajectories place us in. The risk led methodology, set out in the report, shows a 50% GDP contraction between 2070 and 2090 unless an alternative course is chartered.”

The UK Ministry of Defence could lead the way in sustainability by adopting circular economy principles, as outlined in a new report supported by Dstl and the University of Exeter. With defence responsible for 50% of central government’s greenhouse gas emissions, the report highlights how circular practices - like designing out waste, reusing materials, and innovative projects such as converting military Land Rovers to EVs - can help tackle climate challenges, improve efficiency, and enhance resilience.
