Founder Tasso Azevedo joins us live from TED 2025 to explain how the google maps for deforestation is empowering farmers and policymakers to turn their land into carbon sinks, not sources—proving that maps, satellites, and transparent data is a powerful climate tool.Join the upcoming Climate Curious Live podcast event in London, Monday 23 June, 2025.
