Deadline: 12-Mar-21
The Net Zero Challenge is a global competition to answer the following question: How can you advance climate action using open data? The Net Zero Challenge is an Open Knowledge Foundation project. The first stage of the Net Zero Challenge is a ‘Virtual Pitch Contest’.
Some ways in which you might do this include:
- Making climate relevant data easier to discover, view and understand by the general data user;
- Creating a useful pass-through tool or API for climate-relevant data in any country or jurisdiction;
- Organizing climate data so that potential data users (including those who are less data-literate) can see what’s available, and make use of it.
Funding Information
