Emission Blind Spots: Closing the Transparency Gap

Many global supply chains, across sectors such as shipping, agriculture and fisheries, remain opaque and difficult to monitor, leaving major emissions hotspots hidden and challenging to measure or manage.

Advances in satellite monitoring, artificial intelligence and data analytics are beginning to transform how companies track environmental impacts across complex supply networks. By providing greater transparency and real-time insights, these technologies can help businesses verify claims, manage risk and strengthen climate accountability.

• How are companies using satellites, AI and advanced data analytics to identify and reduce hidden emissions across global supply chains?
• What role can satellite-based monitoring and independent data sources play in supporting regulatory compliance and climate disclosures?
• How can collaboration between governments, corporates and technology providers accelerate the deployment of these tools?
