Subject: [Data & Society] Oct 1 Databite–John Crowley: Data for Climate
Action
To: friends@lists.datasociety.net
*WHO:* John Crowley (http://jcrowley.net[jcrowley.net]
(jcrowley.net),
@jcrowley) on data for climate action:
John Crowley is Project Manager for the Data for Climate Action Challenge
at UN Global Pulse, a global open innovation initiative for climate
resilience (
http://www.unglobalpulse.org/data-for-climate-action%5Bunglobalpulse.org%5D
(http://www.unglobalpulse.org)
). Data
for Climate Action models a new approach to public-private data sharing,
revealing the shared value of big data for climate resilience and
sustainable development. John explores the ways in which open innovation,
open source code, and open standards provide mechanisms to connect
organizations that may not be able to directly interact and who may hold
entirely different beliefs about the nature of a problem.
John will discuss the data for climate ecosystem within the context of his
experience working at the intersection of informal digital communities and
formal humanitarian institutions; civilian agencies and militaries; and
for-profit and non-profit entities.
*WHEN:* Thursday, October 1, 12-1:30pm (lunch provided)
*WHERE:* Data & Society, 36 W. 20th St., 11th Fl.
