SUMMARY:An Introduction to Mine Action
DESCRIPTION:Mine Action: Innovation, Sustainability, and Global Partnerships Speaker Series\nLandmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) continue to pose a critical humanitarian and developmental challenge worldwide. These hazards hinder infrastructure development, agricultural productivity and socio-economic recovery directly impacting the achievement of multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\nEmerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), unmanned systems, robotics and digital twins offer transformative opportunities to accelerate clearance operations, improve safety and enhance cost-efficiency. Simultaneously, climate change impacts exacerbate contamination dynamics, demanding integrated approaches that link technology, sustainability, and policy.\nThe Subsphere Co. in partnership with York University, Kyiv National Aviation University, Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and Ukrainian deminers and technology developers proposes a global speaker series that unites, deminer, applied research centers, academia, policymakers, industry and humanitarian actors to shape the future of mine action through innovation and sustainability.\nSpeaker: Dr. Robert Keeley – Institute of Explosives Engineer and International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators\nMore Information ( https://www.yorku.ca/cifal/mine-action/ )\nRegistration ( https://yorku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QosLMH1RQOuzcYUXC2lnRA )\n
