Winning Initiatives of the Ideathon Propose Innovative Environmental Solutions for Guatemala

The virtual Ideathon “Proactive Risk Management in the Motagua River Basin” concluded on February 20 with the selection of three winning projects proposing innovative solutions to mitigate the effects of environmental degradation in the region. Over the course of a week, more than 90 participants, organized into seven teams, developed proposals to use satellite data from the European Union’s (EU) Earth observation program, Copernicus, for water management, waste disposal, and ecosystem conservation. Five speakers, seven mentors, and pitch sessions supported the process by providing feedback and refining the solutions.
