The Case for a Digital Ecosystem for the Environment

Big data sets and new technologies can be brought together to create new knowledge products that can provide environmental insight in near real-time. Now is the time to reimagine and supercharge environmental governance and public-private partnerships by using big data, frontier technologies and data analytics to target our action and investments. We need to build on and leverage existing partnerships and practitioner communities to ensure the digital ecosystem for the environment is inclusive and does not overlap or duplicate existing activities.
