Within the framework of the RISKY project and as part of our Energy & Nature webinar series, RGI is organising a webinar bringing together diverse stakeholders to explore how the data sharing can be beneficial for both nature and energy and transport infrastructure.

In a world rapidly transitioning toward renewable energy and modern transport systems, the challenge of building essential infrastructure while safeguarding biodiversity has never been more urgent. Every year, grid and transport operators, researchers, and NGOs collect vast amounts of data on wildlife mortality and species’ responses to human-made structures. Yet, much of this data remains fragmented, limiting its potential to drive meaningful change. When shared, this data can uncover hidden insights, bridge gaps in isolated datasets, and empower smarter, more sustainable decision-making.

Sharing data offers transformative benefits:

Reduce financial risks by improving infrastructure planning and avoiding biodiversity hotspots

Strengthen public trust through transparent data sharing, collaboration and open dialogue

Enhance conservation efforts with more effective mitigation strategies

Join us and discover how the RISKY project is developing a platform that combines wildlife mortality data, advanced analytical tools, and sensitivity maps. This platform is designed to support better decision-making for both biodiversity protection and infrastructure development.

Grid operators, NGOs, and public authorities will also share firsthand experiences on the value of data sharing, and how it can be done safely and securely. Learn about customisable access levels and confidentiality options, ensuring organisations retain full control over what they share.
