The demonstration aims to exhibit the ARIES (Artificial Intelligence for Environment and Sustainability) platform’s transparent, fast, and open-source approach to Environmental Accounting, highlighting how ARIES for SEEA supports these studies in countries with varying data availabilities and capacities. By presenting real-world applications, specifically focusing on a mapping ecosystem type, the workshop will illustrate the platform’s ability to provide state-of-the-art results under time and financial constraints.
Participants will learn how ARIES supports ecosystem condition assessment and ecosystem service flow estimation, ensuring reusability across scales and methodologies, and understand how ARIES technology facilitates scalable and interoperable ecosystem type mapping, adaptable to both data-scarce and data-rich contexts.
The demonstration will start with an overview of ARIES and its impact on advancing ecosystem accounting globally, after which the "ARIES for SEEA" application will be shown, demonstrating how Ecosystem Accounting can be accomplished in a simple and approachable way. It is also accessible to anyone (access is entirely free for non-commercial use, and datasets used are global and open) via a web browser (requires only an internet connection).
Finally, some case studies will be presented, showing practical applications done in the last years, specifically in Senegal, Colombia, and Germany, focusing on their unique challenges and achievements.
