New environmental sensors are capable of real-time data collection using tools like flexible, printed ICs and AI/ML. These sensors can measure a wide range of substances and process data in real-time, providing valuable information for companies, researchers, and consumers. For example, water sensors can monitor pH levels along the pipeline, saving time and costs. Additionally, air sensors are being developed to mimic the sniffing capabilities of dogs, enabling quicker and more accurate detection of various chemicals. Companies like Brewer Science and Infineon Technologies are working on sensors to monitor water quality and air pollutants, emphasizing the importance of environmental data for a healthier world.

The quest to measure our relationship with nature

The United Nations is working on a Nature Relationship Index (NRI) to measure how well countries interact with the natural world. The NRI aims to shift the narrative from humans being destroyers of nature to fostering a green, abundant world. The index will assess three key questions: whether nature is thriving and accessible, if it is being used with care, and if it is safeguarded. The NRI will debut alongside the 2026 Human Development Report, encouraging countries to compete and improve their scores. The goal is to engage people's hopes and dreams for a better relationship with nature.
