6. GEOSPATIAL ESG and sustainability reporting will also have impact of
policy development as biodiversity will get more attention
as part of the ESG and Sustainability Reporting Cycle.

Geospatial technology can play a key role with how
resources are managed and deployed. More coordination
between private and public sector is important as part of
mitigating areas like sparks from trains, lightning strikes, and
other human errors.

Transforming both the private and public sectors into a data
driven culture can also help with the capturing of ESG and
Sustainability data for reporting.

 Both the private and public sector work together on best practices related to biodiversity, forest, land, water,
and vegetation management practices.
 Stronger urban planning practices to mitigate building, roads, bridges, and other assets against climate
change.
 Adoption near-real-time reporting of assets as part of management and maintaining of assets.
