A. When the personal data is processed only in non-electronic form B. When the personal data is collected and then pseudonymised by the controller C. When the personal data is held by the controller but not processed for further purposes D. When the personal data is processed by an individual only for their household activities Answer: D Explanation: Reference: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/ Question: 122 SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next Question: You have just been hired by a toy manufacturer based in Hong Kong. The company sells a broad range of dolls, action figures and plush toys that can be found internationally in a wide variety of retail stores. Although the manufacturer has no offices outside Hong Kong and in fact does not employ any staff outside Hong Kong, it has entered into a number of local distribution contracts. The toys produced by the company can be found in all popular toy stores throughout Europe, the United States and Asia. A large portion of the company’s revenue is due to international sales. The company now wishes to launch a new range of connected toys, ones that can talk and interact with children. The CEO of the company is touting these toys as the next big thing, due to the increased possibilities offered: The figures can answer children’s questions on various subjects, such as mathematical calculations or the weather. Each figure is equipped with a microphone and speaker and can connect to any smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Any mobile device within a 10-meter radius can connect to the toys via Bluetooth as well. The figures can also be associated with other figures (from the same manufacturer) and interact with each other for an enhanced play experience. When a child asks the toy a question, the request is sent to the cloud for analysis, and the answer is generated on cloud servers and sent back to the figure. The answer is given through the figure’s integrated speakers, making it appear as though that the toy is actually responding to the child’s question. The packaging of the toy does not provide technical details on how this works, nor does it mention that this feature requires an internet connection. The necessary data processing for this has been outsourced to a data center located in South Africa. However, your company has not yet revised its consumer-facing privacy policy to indicate this. In parallel, the company is planning to introduce a new range of game systems through which consumers can play the characters they acquire in the course of playing the game. The system will come bundled with a portal that includes a Near-Field Communications (NFC) reader. This device will read an RFID tag in the action figure, making the figure come to life onscreen. Each character has its own stock features and abilities, but it is also possible to earn additional ones by accomplishing game goals. The only information stored in the tag relates to the figures’ abilities. It is easy to switch characters during the game, and it is possible to bring the figure to locations outside of the home and have the character’s abilities remain intact. What presents the BIGGEST potential privacy issue with the company’s practices? A. The NFC portal can read any data stored in the action figures B. The information about the data processing involved has not been specified C. The cloud service provider is in a country that has not been deemed adequate D. The RFID tag in the action figures has the potential for misuse because of the toy’s evolving capabilities Answer: B Question: 123 SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next Question: Anna and Frank both work at Granchester University. Anna is a lawyer responsible for data protection, while Frank is a lecturer in the engineering department. The University maintains a number of types of records: – Student records, including names, student numbers, home addresses, pre-university information, university attendance and performance records, details of special educational needs and financial information. – Staff records, including autobiographical materials (such as curricula, professional contact files, student evaluations and other relevant teaching files). – Alumni records, including birthplaces, years of birth, dates of matriculation and conferrals of degrees. These records are available to former students after registering through Granchester’s Alumni portal. – Department for Education records, showing how certain demographic groups (such as first-generation students) could be expected, on average, to progress. These records do not contain names or identification numbers. – Under their security policy, the University encrypts all of its personal data records in transit and at rest. In order to Strengthen his teaching, Frank wants to investigate how his engineering students perform in relational to Department for Education expectations. He has attended one of Anna’s data protection training courses and knows that he should use no more personal data than necessary to accomplish his goal. He creates a program that will only export some student data: previous schools attended, grades originally obtained, grades currently obtained and first time university attended. He wants to keep the records at the individual student level. Mindful of Anna’s training, Frank runs the student numbers through an algorithm to transform them into different reference numbers. He uses the same algorithm on each occasion so that he can update each record over time. One of Anna’s tasks is to complete the record of processing activities, as required by the GDPR. After receiving her email reminder, as required by the GDPR. After receiving her email reminder, Frank informs Anna about his performance database. Ann explains to Frank that, as well as minimizing personal data, the University has to check that this new use of existing data is permissible. She also suspects that, under the GDPR, a risk analysis may have to be carried out before the data processing can take place. Anna arranges to discuss this further with Frank after she has done some additional research. Frank wants to be able to work on his analysis in his spare time, so he transfers it to his home laptop (which is not encrypted). Unfortunately, when Frank takes the laptop into the University he loses it on the train. Frank has to see Anna that day to discuss compatible processing. He knows that he needs to report security incidents, so he decides to tell Anna about his lost laptop at the same time. Before Anna determines whether Frank’s performance database is permissible, what additional information does she need? A. More information about Frank’s data protection training. B. More information about the extent of the information loss. C. More information about the algorithm Frank used to mask student numbers. D. More information about what students have been told and how the research will be used. Answer: D Question: 124 Which aspect of the GDPR will likely have the most impact on the consistent implementation of data protection laws throughout the European Union? A. That it essentially functions as a one-stop shop mechanism B. That it takes the form of a Regulation as opposed to a Directive C. That it makes notification of large-scale data breaches mandatory D. That it makes appointment of a data protection officer mandatory Answer: A Explanation: Reference: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-protection-eu_en Question: 125 SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next Question: You have just been hired by a toy manufacturer based in Hong Kong.

In light of the requirements of Article 32 of the GDPR (related to the Security of Processing), which practice should the company institute? A. Encrypt the data in transit over the wireless Bluetooth connection. B. Include dual-factor authentication before each use by a child in order to ensure a minimum amount of security. C. Include three-factor authentication before each use by a child in order to ensure the best level of security possible. D. Insert contractual clauses into the contract between the toy manufacturer and the cloud service provider, since South Africa is outside the European Union.

Answer: A Explanation: Reference: https://www.chino.io/blog/what-is-pseudonymous-data-according-to-the-gdpr/ Question: 130 SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next Question: Jason, a long-time customer of ABC insurance, was involved in a minor car accident a few months ago. Although no one was hurt, Jason has been plagued by texts and calls from a company called Erbium Insurance offering to help him recover compensation for personal injury. Jason has heard about insurance companies selling customers’ data to third parties, and he’s convinced that Erbium must have gotten his information from ABC. Jason has also been receiving an increased amount of marketing information from ABC, trying to sell him their full range of their insurance policies. Perturbed by this, Jason has started looking at price comparison sites on the Internet and has been shocked to find that other insurers offer much cheaper rates than ABC, even though he has been a loyal customer for many years. When his ABC policy comes up for renewal, he decides to switch to Xentron Insurance. In order to activate his new insurance policy, Jason needs to supply Xentron with information about his No Claims bonus, his vehicle and his driving history. After researching his rights under the GDPR, he writes to ask ABC to transfer his information directly to Xentron. He also takes this opportunity to ask ABC to stop using his personal data for marketing purposes. ABC supplies Jason with a PDF and XML (Extensible Markup Language) versions of his No Claims Certificate, but tells Jason it cannot transfer his data directly to Xentron at this is not technically feasible. ABC also explains that Jason’s contract included a provision whereby Jason agreed that his data could be used for marketing purposes; according to ABC, it is too late for Jason to change his mind about this. It angers Jason when he recalls the wording of the contract, which was filled with legal jargon and very confusing. In the meantime, Jason is still receiving unwanted calls from Erbium Insurance. He writes to Erbium to ask for the name of the organization that supplied his details to them. He warns Erbium that he plans to complain to the data protection authority because he thinks their company has been using his data unlawfully. His letter states that he does not want his data being used by them in any way. Erbium’s response letter confirms Jason’s suspicions. Erbium is ABC’s wholly owned subsidiary, and they received information about Jason’s accident from ABC shortly after Jason submitted his accident claim. Erbium assures Jason that there has been no breach of the GDPR, as Jason’s contract included a provision in which he agreed to share his information with ABC’s affiliates for business purposes. Jason is disgusted by the way in which he has been treated by ABC, and writes to them insisting that all his information be erased from their computer system. Which statement accurately summarizes ABC’s obligation in regard to Jason’s data portability request? A. ABC does not have a duty to transfer Jason’s data to Xentron if doing so is legitimately not technically feasible. B. ABC does not have to transfer Jason’s data to Xentron because the right to data portability does not apply where personal data are processed in order to carry out tasks in the public interest. C. ABC has failed to comply with the duty to transfer Jason’s data to Xentron because the duty applies wherever personal data are processed by automated means and necessary for the performance of a contract with the customer. D. ABC has failed to comply with the duty to transfer Jason’s data to Xentron because it has an obligation to develop commonly used, machine-readable and interoperable formats so that all customer data can be ported to other insurers on request.

The Solheim Cup combines the tradition and prestige of the game of golf with passion for one’s country and continent. This biennial, transatlantic team match-play competition features the 12 best European players from the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the 12 best U.S. players from the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour. Held every two years, the event has grown into the most highly coveted trophy in women’s professional golf team competition; some of the most memorable moments in the sport have happened during past Solheim Cups and berths on the European and U.S. teams are highly sought-after by players from both organizations. The Solheim Cup is named in honor of Karsten and Louise Solheim, the founders of Karsten Manufacturing Corporation, which makes PING golf equipment. The first Solheim Cup was staged in 1990, with the latest 2021 Solheim Cup having taken place on September 4-6. Team Europe secured a second victory on US soil as they clinched a 15-13 win over Team USA in the 2021 Solheim Cup at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. Heading into the final day, Europe had a two-point lead over the counterparts and only needed five points to retain the coveted trophy.

LONDON — After years of waiting, Europe's revamped privacy standards have kicked in. The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, is the largest overhaul of the region's rules in more than 20 years. It's aimed at giving the Continent's more than 500 million citizens greater control over how their digital information is used by companies and governments. What can be expected from the new standards? And what are people's hopes — and fears — for the new rules, which are already being copied by countries worldwide eager to maintain access to Europe's well-heeled consumers? What follows are the perspectives of the regulators, tech executives and privacy campaigners with crucial roles in determining how Europe's privacy rules will be implemented. These people also will determine, to a large degree, whether the Continent's data protection standards succeed or fail. The Regulator: Helen Dixon, Irish data protection commissioner 
Eyevine via Belga More than almost anyone other European privacy regulator, Dixon — whose agency oversees data-hungry companies including Google and Facebook — will have her work cut out. For Dixon and her 100-person team, the challenge will be to find a balance between an influx of data protection complaints due to land on her doorstep and long-term investigations into complex topics, such as how big tech firms explain their privacy policies to users. "It's a balancing exercise," she said. "How many big investigations can we take on?" After spending much of the last year educating locals and the big internet players about how the new privacy standards will affect them, Dixon believes the biggest shift is how companies will become more accountable for their use of people's data — and the enforcement powers (fines may total up to €20 million or 4 percent of revenues, whichever is greater) that will back that up. But she remains concerned that each EU country is implementing the rules in slightly different ways, potentially hobbling region-wide efforts to supply people greater say over how their data is used. "The intention was to modernize the law and harmonize it across Europe," she said. "It's clear we're moving away from that." The Privacy Advocate: Max Schrems, data protection campaigner 
Getty Images As a veteran of various privacy battles, Schrems is already gearing up to file multiple complaints now that the new rules have taken effect. But even the Austrian campaigner — who has fought Facebook in several European courts on and off for almost a decade — is overwhelmed by the complexity of the new tools at his disposal. "I don't know where to start," he told POLITICO. Schrems is concerned that many companies whose businesses do not rely on harvesting people's online information will be caught up in the regulatory burdens that come hand in hand with Europe's new rules. For that, he blames the tech industry's lobbying, which he said pushed lawmakers to make the standards as indecipherable as possible. Schrems is also worried that digital companies are already rewriting the standards as they see fit. That includes making their updated privacy policies overly broad, allowing these firms to arbitrarily collect people's information without much regard to the new constraints on such data collection practices. "Even before it starts, they are violating the rules," Schrems said. "The main question is how will regulators react to these privacy changes?" The Tech Executive: Stephen Deadman, Facebook's data protection officer 
Courtesy of Facebook Even before the recent scandal involving Facebook users' data, Deadman knew that the social networking giant would be under greater pressure than most to comply with Europe's new data protection standards. The company has had a team of more than 300 lawyers, coders and designers working for more than two years on overhauling Facebook's privacy settings, though not all of these upgrades will be offered to non-EU users. "Because of the scrutiny we're under, we've had to scrutinize all of our processes," he told POLITICO. For Deadman, who serves as the company's executive in charge of ensuring the company complies with the new standards, Europe's privacy rules are more evolutionary, not revolutionary. Many of the new rights granted to people, including the ability to pull consent from data collection practices whenever they choose, build on existing standards. One improvement, he adds, is that only one European privacy watchdog — not a series of often warring EU agencies — will now hold sole responsibility for how Facebook and others comply with the region's privacy rules. "In the past, there was uncertainty about who got to regulate whom," Deadman said. "Now, there's a clearly established authority. That's a good thing in the regulation because it makes things clear." The Privacy Expert: Trevor Hughes, president, International Association of Privacy Professionals 
Courtesy of International Association of Privacy Professionals Hughes, like many privacy professionals, has spent the last two years dissecting Europe's new rules. But he is still struck by how many unknowns there still are, particularly when it comes to enforcement. "There's just a lot that we don't know," he said. As president of one of the world's largest privacy trade groups, Hughes believes the biggest change will be how companies and governments approach data collection. Instead of indiscriminately vacuuming up people's information, institutions must soon become stewards fully accountable for how they collect, store and manage data. Hughes does fear, though, that the complexity of Europe's new privacy standards will make it tough for anyone without a deep knowledge of the region's data protection rules to truly grasp these new relationships that they have with so many companies. "Consumers really don't have the time to be making all of these decisions," he added. The Commissioner: Věra Jourová, European justice commissioner 
EPA Jourová has a simple message: Europe's new data protection standards mark a cultural shift in how people and companies view privacy. The latest Facebook data scandal, she added, raised awareness that many were blindly handing over their information without much thought. And with new rules taking effect, the European justice commissioner acknowledges that it will take months, if not years, before Europeans become comfortable with exercising arguably some of the most wide-ranging rights anywhere in the world. "People will get used to the new situation, they'll become more aware of what happens with their data," she said. "But that will take time." The commissioner is aware that her job did not finish on May 25. Jourová said she will be actively cajoling national lawmakers and regulators to stay on track, particularly in countries that still have not passed their own domestic versions of the new privacy rules. Part of that role, she said, also includes ensuring Europe's new standards are upheld in the same way across the 28-member bloc. "In some states, privacy is a political priority. But in others, people are pretty relaxed about it," she said. The U.S. Lawmaker: Ed Markey, senator (D-Mass.) 
Getty Images For decades, Markey has been on the front lines of privacy debate in Washington — animated, he told POLITICO, by the idea that as he helped to write U.S. legislation to aid the spread of technology, he also had a responsibility to advocate for policies that protect Americans' data, which may also have become exposed by these latest tech innovations. "It's directionally excellent," Markey said when asked about Europe's new privacy standards, "because it deals with the core issue of receiving opt-in consent from the consumer." For all the talk about how Europeans' and Americans' expectations on privacy may differ, these transatlantic views, he says, overlap when it comes to having a say about what happens to their data. "The American people are going to wonder why they're getting second-class privacy," Markey added. "If American companies can devise a way to create a privacy regime that is opt-in consent for more than 400 million Europeans, they have a lot of explaining to do to the 320 million people in the United States." The new EU law, according to the U.S. lawmaker, will no doubt shape where U.S. privacy debate goes from here. "You can't tell the story of what's going to happen in America without telling the story of what's about to happen in Europe," he said. The Consumer: Katharina Lemke, German citizen 
Courtesy of Katharina Lemke The first that Lemke, a higher education expert in Frankfurt, knew about the privacy changes was the slew of emails she began receiving from companies asking her to opt in to their new data protection policies. Like many Germans, she is more conscious of protecting her privacy than many other Europeans. But even Lemke succumbed to using services like WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook after initially trying to wean herself off them. "I found that I was missing out," she told POLITICO. She is aware that Europe's new privacy standards will supply her a bigger say over how her information may be used, and Lemke has been watching videos and practicing up online about what that could mean for her. Yet with everything going on in her life, the 30-year-old doesn't think she'll have the time to send requests to companies asking about how they use her digital data, let alone file complaints to stop the most egregious activities. "When I get emails from companies, it's lot of text and I usually scroll over it and just accept the policies," she said. "It's a good opportunity to protect my privacy, but maybe it's all too much." Nancy Scola contributed reporting from Washington.  Rick Steves is America's most respected authority on European travel.

Support for PBS.org provided by: Start with the basics when looking to hire a moving company that best meets your needs. Ensure that the company is licensed, insured and has plenty of experience with performing the type of move that you’re undertaking. Once it’s established that they belong on your list by passing those tests, ask questions about how they’ll handle the particular needs of your move. Establishment or Years in BusinessWhile hiring a brand-new service company has its perks and the potential to help the economy, allowing a new business to make its first mistakes while transporting your worldly possessions may not be in your best interest. However, there are ways to protect yourself and your belongings.
ReputationFor most people, moving is a relatively rare occurrence. Because it’s not an everyday experience, consumers are particularly aware of the service they receive from their moving company. That’s good news for those in search of a reputable moving company. Choose a mover with a reputation for excellence by asking friends, family and neighbors about who they chose and what to expect. Also, check the widely available online ratings and review platforms for your candidate companies. Read several of both the good and bad reviews for each contender. ReliabilityUnfortunately, the moving business has been a target for some unreputable organizations that have caused consumers to lose money and faith in the industry as a whole. While rare, it does happen, and it’s essential to protect yourself. Check the reliability of any service or moving company you hope to hire before signing on. The Better Business Bureau website is an excellent resource for learning about how particular companies handle complaints, resolve disputes and behave under challenging circumstances. Identifying a moving company with no complaints is unlikely. However, you can choose to do business with a mover who can perform well and be reliable with things become complicated with just a few minutes devoted to research. PricingPrices vary widely in the moving industry. To confuse things, pricing structures also vary depending on several factors. Local moves might be charged by the hour, while long-distance moving costs may depend on mileage, weight or both—plus fees. When shopping for your mover, be sure to understand what you’ll be charged for, how much it costs, and how you’ll be expected to pay. You’ll want to ensure the price fits your budget and that you know how to avoid additional and possibly unnecessary costs. Obtaining at least three comparable price quotes from different moving companies can help you define your budget strategy. License and InsuranceLicensing and liability insurance varies between states for moving companies. However, both are required by law in one form or another for moving companies regardless of your location or where you’re moving. You could research each moving company candidate through the BBB or other resources, which is advisable. However, simply asking your mover for proof and documentation is perfectly acceptable. While it may seem awkward to ask a professional mover for proof of insurance, reputable companies understand your concerns and are happy to fulfill your request. Be wary of any companies that are unwilling or unresponsive when asked. Services and FeaturesEnsure that the company you’re considering can perform all of the functions of your move. Need to move a vehicle as well as your personal belongings? Find a mover who can do that or works with an affiliate company that can seamlessly provide the service. If you’re in need of full-service packing and loading, help with customs clearance for an international move, packing materials or anything else, choose a company with a history of meeting those needs. A major factor to consider is moving insurance. Unlike a company’s liability insurance, moving coverage is a product you can purchase through many movers to add protection to your belongings. Ensure your mover has a policy or several to choose from if you wish to add these protections. AvailabilityMoving companies often tend to fill their calendars. While ensuring that the company you choose can fit your move in without issue, availability means more than just getting your project on the schedule. When discussing availability with prospective moving companies, ensure the one you choose is available in all the categories above. Ensure the company you choose has experience in terms of years or management history, can handle your specialty and extra items, can prove it meets insurance and licensing requirements, can offer the protection you need to feel comfortable, is reliable and carries a solid reputation, offers the services you desire and finally, has a spot open on its calendar.

Americans have their eyes set on international travel — and Europe especially. Searches for international flights are 42% higher than they were this time last year, with destinations in Europe topping the list, according to travel websites Kayak and Hopper. Prices have also surged. Airfare to Europe is averaging just under $1,200 per round trip ticket, Hopper's lead economist Hayley Berg told Insider, a 37% increase compared to both 2019 and 2022. If you want to fly to Europe this summer, you're likely going to spend $300 more than you would have before the pandemic. "Most travelers were looking at domestic trips last year," Berg said. "This year they've had the time to really plan European vacations, so we're seeing outsized demand for travel to Europe, but as of May there's still only about 84% of the capacity that was available pre-pandemic." A lot of demand and not enough seats puts immediate upward pressure on prices, she said. Airlines like United and Delta have been ramping up their US to Europe flights, increasing capacity by 31% and 13% respectively compared to 2019, according to data by the flight database OAG seen by Insider. But others still haven't caught up to pre-pandemic levels. German giant Lufthansa, for example, has a planned summer 2023 capacity that is 19% less than what it had in 2019. Additionally, while jet fuel is cheaper than last year's record highs, it's still pretty expensive at around $90 per barrel. "Long haul flights are high cost to operate," Berg explained. "So the airline really needs a full plane to realize a lot of revenue on those routes, and you have to charge more to keep the margin." Trending destinations in Europe include the usual suspects — London, Paris, Rome — but also less popular places, like Milan, Italy; Montenegro; and the Canary Islands in Spain, according to Berg. Asia is right behind Europe in terms of searches, with ticket prices averaging at over $1,800, a 62% increase compared to pre-pandemic times. The price increases are dizzying, but fortunately, they're probably not here to stay. Last year, it was flights within the US that had their most expensive summer in years, averaging $376 round trip. That was mostly due to jet fuel prices and lack of capacity, but prices for 2023 have normalized. "Next summer for international will be less expensive than this summer and probably start returning to some level of normalcy similar to what happened with domestic," Berg said. In the meantime, if you really can't supply up on Europe in 2023 and don't want to spend too much, she suggests waiting until September to go. Early-career journalists across Nigeria can apply for a virtual and in-person fellowship. The Africa Foundation for Young Media Professionals (AFYMP) is accepting applications for its funded media fellowships. The program seeks to strengthen, empower and position next generation, early-career journalists in Nigeria. Selected fellows will participate in one of the fellowship’s categories: Media Entrepreneurship and Niche Building; Campus Journalism, Ethics, Safety, Fact Checking; Women in Journalism; and Disability and Inclusion Reporting. The six-month program begins with a two-day in-person workshop. The workshop will be held in Ibadan, Lagos, Owerri and Port Harcourt. The deadline is June 5. Analysis conducted by climate tech company Arbonics shows that there could potentially be 14 million hectares of land going to waste across Europe, which could be used to plant forests. The data revealed that the European Union produced approximately 2.73 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2021 — an increase of over six per cent compared to 2020 levels. An estimated 160 million hectares of land in the European Union alone is already forested and has the potential to store up to 73 per cent of the carbon dioxide emitted by the EU in 2021. Yet according to Arbonics' data, the equivalent of all the land in Portugal and the Netherlands is still available for afforestation; the process of planting new forests on land which has not been forested before. If this was successfully carried out, the emissions of up to 15 million Europeans could be balanced out every year, which is the equivalent of everyone living in London and Berlin. This process could also add £2 billion to the European economy through carbon credits, granted to landowners across the continent. Carbon credits are permits allowing the owner to emit one ton of carbon dioxide or the equivalent of another greenhouse gas. This has become one of the main ways in which carbon emitters offset emissions by investing in projects removing or reducing emissions from the atmosphere. However, afforestation is not without its disadvantages. For example, some of the land used for afforestation could be used for alternative activities, such as agriculture. Even if only the land that had been abandoned or identified as being too poor-quality for agriculture was used, this is still estimated to be in the region of 1.1 million hectares. This would be sufficient to remove up to 9.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, balancing the emissions of 1.5 million people, equal to the population of Munich. In America, there are up to 60 million hectares of land available for afforestation and reforestation, which could capture up to 535 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. According to Arbonics, this would be equal to removing 116 million cars from the road. Many environmental restoration projects have devastating environmental and social impacts, though. An appropriately balanced combination of species depending upon location is necessary for these projects to deliver on their proposed aims. While natural forests offer rich biodiversity and defence against climate change, which is of significant value to human survival, many industrial plantations fail to provide the same natural benefits. Professor Adrian Newton, Director of Conservation Ecology at Bournemouth University stated that if a natural forest is converted to a plantation, "entire ecological communities will be destroyed, species diversity will be massively reduced, and ecological processes will be irrevocably altered." Arbonics recognises this and helps landowners in analysing and calculating the potential of their land, using their technology to monitor potential sites of afforestation. Kristjan Lepik, co-founder and CEO of Arbonics stated: "Nature provides everything we need to turn the tide on climate change but unlocking the power and potential of nature is easier said than done. Landowners across the world are sitting on a wealth of resources that can benefit both the planet and their bottom line." Furthermore, Arbonics' Carbon Earning Estimator allows landowners to estimate the potential carbon income of their land through afforestation.
