People, Planet & Technology ends... but something new is starting 🚀

Hej,
I hope you're doing well. Today, I'm reaching out personally to share some exciting changes about this newsletter, a journey we've embarked on together. Your engagement and insights have been invaluable, and I can't wait to bring you along on this new chapter.

"risk & haz": A Reflection of My Evolved Focus
You might remember my newsletter as "People, Planet & Technology." It's time for a new era. I'm relaunching it to "risk & haz," a title that closely mirrors my growing passion and focus on using Earth Observation techniques to understand climate risks and natural hazards. This change isn't just in name but also in essence, as I delve deeper into this vital and fascinating field.

Why the Shift?
Over the past years, I've found myself increasingly drawn to the power and potential of Earth Observation. It's a tool like no other for decoding the complexities of our climate and the hazards our planet faces. I want this newsletter to reflect this journey and share my passion and experiences with you, bringing you the most relevant, insightful, and up-to-date information in this area.

Transitioning from Substack to Buttondown
In line with these changes, I'm also switching my newsletter platform to Buttondown. This move is driven by my commitment to ensure the privacy and security of your personal data, steering clear of the pitfalls associated with big tech companies. Buttondown offers a more secure, personal, and focused experience for us both.

Here's What This Means for You:

• Stay on Board with No Effort: If you're as excited as I am about "risk & haz", you don't need to do anything! You'll automatically receive my monthly briefings, starting with the first issue under the new title. As in the past, this stays absolutely free!

• Opt-Out If It's Not Your Cup of Tea: Interests evolve, and I completely understand that. If you feel that "risk & haz" doesn't resonate with you, please feel free to unsubscribe by February 4, 2024. No hard feelings, I promise!

• Not sure? No worries, you can stay as long as you wish and when you don’t feel comfortable with the new content or it doesn’t match your interests you can unsubscribe at any time in the future.

Your thoughts and feedback are always welcome. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or just want to share your thoughts.

I'm genuinely excited to start this new phase of "risk & haz" with you. Together, let's explore the wonders and challenges of our planet through the lens of Earth Observation.

I hope to see many of you in the next issue!

Warmly,
Niklas
