Chloris Geospatial’s forest carbon data is coming to Lens, Upstream Tech's product for landscape monitoring, enabling users to access cutting-edge global forest carbon data anywhere on earth.
We’re excited to announce that Chloris Geospatial’s cutting-edge forest carbon data will soon be available in Lens, enabling users to easily access carbon and forest data across the globe.
At Chloris, our mission is to empower organizations to assess, monitor, and invest in forest conservation and restoration. Our data provides critical insights on above-ground biomass change and stock, forest cover, and more, dating back to 2000. By making this data available in Lens, users can quantify emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, monitor gains from reforestation projects, and track year-over-year changes in carbon storage and distribution—anywhere on Earth.
Key features of the data include:
Whether you’re a project developer, investor, or corporate buyer, this data unlocks a new level of visibility across landscapes, enabling better project diligence, implementation, and long-term monitoring.
"We're proud to partner with Chloris Geospatial, a leader in forest carbon measurement from space, to make this critical data more accessible than ever. By integrating their advanced datasets into Lens, we're empowering organizations to take faster, more informed action to protect and restore forests.,” said Abby Smith, Head of Product.
“Partnering with Upstream Tech marks a significant step forward for Chloris Geospatial in making forest carbon data accessible and actionable for everyone,” said Marco Albani, CEO and Co-Founder of Chloris Geospatial. “By combining our advanced, science-backed carbon data with the user-friendly Lens platform, we’re empowering more organizations to accelerate and scale their climate action”.
To learn more, join us on November 20th for a deep dive webinar on remote sensing for forest carbon monitoring with experts from Upstream Tech and Chloris Geospatial. Register here to attend or reach out to our team at lens@upstream.tech.

The Science Based Targets initiative published Version 2.0 of its Corporate Net-Zero Standard on 11 June 2026. The shift is from ambition to implementation. For most sectors that means greater flexibility in how targets are set and met. For companies sourcing forest and agricultural commodities, the implications are more specific because the most important changes sit in the treatment of Scope 3 emissions. The implications also carry a timing imperative: the evidence base the standard rewards takes years rather than months to assemble, so for a company that wants to use the new flexibility when V2.0 becomes mandatory on 1 January 2028, the work that matters should start soon.

Chloris Geospatial, a climate-tech company pioneering satellite-based measurement of forest carbon and ecosystem change, announced today it has raised $8.5 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Future Energy Ventures, with participation from existing investors AXA IM Alts, At One Ventures, Cisco Foundation, Counteract, and Orbia Ventures.

Last week we convened an incredible group of people to discuss the question 'How can AI-supported monitoring technologies, such as direct biomass estimation, help bring trust to natural climate solutions?'
