Climate Watch
Managed by the World Resources Institute as a contribution to the National Development Partnership, Climate Watch was launched in 2019 as an open-access platform equipped with climate datasets, visualizations and resources on national and global progress in mitigating climate change. Users are able to analyze and compare the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement as well as the historical GHG emissions data to map potential pathways for lowering carbon emissions. Rendered visualizations can be shared, supporting and stimulating environmental policy-making. Aimed at policy makers, decision makers, media, and the general public, the aim of the Climate Watch platform is to increase access to data for better decision-making, while enhancing accountability and transparency of those responsible for reducing emissions.

Air Pollution Robot
The dangers of air pollution to human health are well documented, though the traditional methodology of collecting and reporting on sample lags behind the need to keep abreast and regulate air pollution in a meaningful amount of time. The use of drones and robots have been identified by researchers as resources that can be tweaked […]

Telematic Rivers
Erica Kermani’s artwork seeks to answer a central question: if rivers were seeing an equal, living entity, would humans take issues like climate change threatening them more seriously? In his year-long art exhibition in 2017, Kermani, in collaboration with Diana Salcedo & Jeana Chesnik, created a new forum of interaction between humans and rivers to […]

Co-occupied Boundaries
Art is easily found in nature but rarely is what considered art today inherently natural. The concept of co-occupied mediums that serve to be both functional for nature and aesthetically pleasing to people is being actively explored by Asya Ilgun and Phil Ayres, from the CITAstudio at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In […]
