Emerging tech for the future of earth
ABOUT THE LAB
sustainability and the harnessING of technology to protect the future of the earth
This area seeks to harness the use of emerging technologies to help advance the Sustainable Development Goals, focusing mainly on the conservation of natural ecosystems through the use of frontier technologies, articulation of the key stakeholders around it, and education to communities and companies.
There is no doubt that the global health crisis we are experiencing requires us to rethink our current production models and our relationship with the natural world. Our right to a healthy sustainable environment must become our top priority to prevent future environmental and social crises.

OUR INITIATIVES
NaturaTech LAC
NaturaTech LAC enhances the effectiveness, scalability, and transparency of biodiversity conservation and regeneration action, as well as decentralized sustainable finance, by fostering the use of purposeful cutting-edge technologies and inclusive strategies in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. This by enabling pioneering projects, bridging cross-boundary wisdom and knowledge, and supporting mechanisms to transform discoveries into policy for a nature-centered future.
AI for Climate
Our main umbrella initiative in this area is AI for Climate, a global initiative that explores the use of today's most advanced technologies to mitigate the risk of environmental crises in the world and to activate the economy in the poverty-stricken communities around nature reserves.
OUR PROJECTS
Tech4Nature
Accelerate the effective conservation and regeneration of biodiversity and ecosystem health by strengthening the monitoring, conservation, and understanding of the effects of climate change on priority ecosystems and species in the mangrove zone of the Yucatan Peninsula. This is done by harnessing the power of community-centered approaches, machine learning, and multi-sector collaborations.
Digital Tokens
Digital tokens for climate action and nature-based solutions forms a valuable addition to the emerging body of knowledge to inform, inspire, and spur action for effective ways of providing financial resources and effective action for climate action and the conservation and regeneration of our natural capital.
IDB Lab and the Future of Earth Lab by C Minds have transformed the list of potential applications into a Collective Idea Box open for anyone with a creative application to add.
