Climate and environmental data underpins trillions of dollars in decisions. But the systems that produce and sustain the data are more fragile than they appear. The ecosystem has long been fragmented, and current pressures are now disrupting the decades of specialized expertise, investments, and networks that hold it together.
Join experts during DC Climate Week for Climate & Environmental Data Day, which will explore how organizations are responding to these disruptions, building new coordination mechanisms, and reimagining what a climate and environmental data ecosystem can look like. Co-organized by the Data Foundation, the Impact Project, Open Environmental Data Project (OEDP), the Public Environmental Data Partners (PEDP), and the Environmental Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), this full-day event features leaders from academia, government, the private sector and civil society at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Keck Building.
Attendees will have the chance to connect with others working at the frontier of climate and environmental data, and learn how a community of likeminded organizations are coordinating to move the field forward.
Check back soon for confirmed speakers and a full agenda.
