Join us on a journey into the realms of our digital society: In the new season of Exploring Digital Spheres our SET-project research team travels to five different countries on three continents in order to explore the intersection of sustainability and digitalisation and talk to local experts about their endeavours. In the first season of the podcast you got to know HIIG researchers and their diverse research backgrounds. We asked them how our digital society works and what its future might look like. Every other episode, the researchers entered into a dialogue with other digital mavericks!

S02 E04: Exploring Indonesia's digital solution for rainforest protection
The growing importance of digital technologies for rainforest protection is accompanied by profound challenges related to their deployment and use. How can digital skills and technologies be trained and implemented in remote regions where the rainforest is of particular importance for local development?
In this episode we discuss with Dr. Roeland Hemsteede his findings from a study on rainforest protection & digital solutions. The study centres around Open Access to relevant data (e.g. from satellites), digital literacy & funding for tech-based rainforest conservation projects. We also interviewed Florian Reimer, Chief Climate Officer at Koltiva, an agri tech company working on sustainable and traceable supply chains.
