Arena journalist Jelena Prtorić will be speaking at the Netzwerk Recherche conference this weekend about the use of AI tools in our #GreenToGrey investigation.

The work was based on AI analysis of a global land cover datasets. And yet, while AI can be useful for climate investigations, we also know AI companies are not yet mitigating their climate impacts.

If you're at #NR26, come to hear the panel discuss the complexities of AI in climate investigations. 📆 Saturday June 13 15:00 CEST

🏆 "Sometimes it can be hard to see environmental impacts over time. This project made it easy.”

#GreenToGrey is a Sigma Award Winner for 2026! Our collaborative data journalism investigation with 11 news teams across Europe, revealed the scale of our nature and cropland loss over 6 years.
