Data Will Lead The Fight Against Climate Change



"This year we’ve seen climate emergencies declared locally by 265 different local authorities across the UK. And the alarm has been raised at the supranational level too, with the EU Parliament declaring a global climate emergency.

At the same time, blazing bush fires in Australia, toxic levels of air pollution in India and severe flooding here in the UK have dominated news headlines – demonstrating the dangers climate change is already creating.

With concern rising about the impact of climate change, we need to find ways of tackling its causes and mitigating its effects. Here, data has a crucial role to play.

Whether it’s information on how the world’s climate has changed over time or key sources of carbon emissions, the data we collect holds crucial insight.

This insight is already shaping our responses to climate change and will become even more important in 2020."  ～Stefan Hogendoorn @DataEconomy
