Planetary Dashboard Development

Tech Development: We are working on designing a mobile app to serve as a planetary dashboard. Join us in the design process.

  • We need an annual Earth carbon budget that maps emissions and absorption rates by region. This is similar to the Earth Overshoot Day which calculates the calendar year on which the Earth’s renewable resources have been expended for that year.
  • We would like to map each of the Earth’s tipping points: coral reef loss, polar ice loss, extinction rates (ie biodiversity decline),et al.
  • Which communities are immediately impacted?
  • What opportunities are there to advocate?
  • What are the barriers to action?
  • What other technologies can be transformed to protect our planet?
