We are thrilled to announce that eligible organizations can now apply for Google Earth credits through the Google Maps Platform (GMP) Public Programs. https://t.co/VmzzmCFIPN

For decades, environmental and social benefit professionals—from conservationists protecting wildlife to public health officials improving sanitation infrastructure—have relied on Google Earth to turn planetary data into real-world action. This program is specifically tailored for organizations aligned with sustainability and public health goals.

In addition to free capabilities available in our Standard plan, this credit program gives your organization expanded access to even more of Google Earth’s latest advanced web capabilities and tools, such as:
- Large-Scale Data Import
- Advanced Data Layers
- AI-Powered Analysis

Ready to Get Started? Before applying for credits, we encourage you to explore the new Google Earth plans and sign up for a free trial. If, after your trial, you would like to continue your plan you can check your organization’s eligibility and submit your application for Google Earth Credits via GMP Public Programs.

Credits are valid for 12 months. Recipients must report on their impact (i.e. hectares protected, emissions reduced, or lives impacted) and can request an extension at the end of the cycle.

@KahlonHarshdeep so cool but the "so many use-cases for AI in oil & gas" makes it uncool 🥲🥲

Google Earth AI, our collection of geospatial AI models and datasets, is expanding globally and adding new capabilities. That includes Geospatial Reasoning, powered by Gemini, which automatically connects different Earth AI models - like weather forecasts, population maps + satellite imagery - to answer complex questions. 

We’re also bringing new Earth AI models to Gemini capabilities in Google Earth, which make it easy to instantly find objects and discover patterns from satellite imagery. For example, analysts could spot harmful algae blooms that could impact drinking water supply, and issue warnings.

I’m curious who takes responsibility for this widening gap - it worries me that there’s no clear answer, but, as technologists, we definitely have a role to play.

As the rate of technological advancement increases, those without access to it become less and less represented in data. She discusses the idea of using synthetic data to protect privacy while creating statistically representative open data for open innovation.

hello !! i don't usually post on here, but I wrote a piece about my work with the urban systems lab and how it helped me transition to a role in sustainability :) hope to share more of my work on here and connect with anyone else interested in climate!
