This climate action initiative will use the experience gathered from a similar biotechnology<\/a> project in the UK\u2019s Sherwood Forest.<\/p>\n A group comprised of researchers from Birmingham City University, University of Tokyo, and Gorontalo State University will implement advanced technology across the Wallacea series of islands situated between Asia and Australia to record biodiversity and bioenergy sources, as well as for the identification of paths for ecological management.<\/p>\n The British Council funded project is being led by Associate Professors Taufiq Asyhari and Adel Aneiba at Birmingham City University; it adds to their experience delivering the Connected Forests 5G project to enhance connectivity, environmentalism, and tourism in the royal forest in Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n The team will report their discoveries at the UN\u2019s Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26<\/a>), which will take place in Glasgow in November 2021. The conference will unite world leaders, climate experts and campaigners, who will together decide on future action for combatting climate change.<\/p>\n This initiative focuses on \u2018net-zero\u2019 opportunities through international collaboration, with the advantage of expertise in Artificial Intelligence<\/a> (AI) driven smart environmental 5G, AI sensing, energy and process integration, and forestry plant sciences.<\/p>\n
