Monitores abiertos de calidad del aire (MACA)

Los MACA son prototipos para el monitoreo de la calidad del aire desarrollados a partir de módulos de hardware abierto y sensores de bajo costo. Su objetivo es ayudar a ciudadanos y científicos en la construcción de conocimiento que pueda ser utilizado para participar en las decisiones acerca del metabolismo urbano que afectan la calidad del aire que respiramos.Facultad de Informátic

Indigenous Lands, Protected Areas, and Slowing Climate Change

Recent climate talks in Copenhagen reaffirmed the crucial role of reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD). Creating and strengthening indigenous lands and other protected areas represents an effective, practical, and immediate REDD strategy that addresses both biodiversity and climate crises at once

Carbon stocks and potential emissions of selected ILPAs in the Brazilian Amazon.

<p>Potential emissions are estimated by simulating future deforestation through 2050, with and without ILPAs present. The difference (depicted by orange bars) represents the reductions of CO₂ emissions contributed by each ILPA.
