Closing the Gap: Accelerating environmental Open Source (opensource.net)
 

"I’m a firm believer that Open Source is one of the most important pieces of the climate change puzzle. It’s impossible to prove but to integrate environmental concerns into our number-driven economies, we need traceable software, data, and models. Without these, sustainability remains a mere concept." A recap of Tobias journey to discover how open digital infrastructure helps us to preserve our natural world: https://opensource.net/closing-the-gap-accelerating-environmental-open-source/ #opensource #openscience #opensustain #climate #climatechange

In the inaugural episode of the OSS Climate Podcast, host Richard Littauer chats with our first guest, Koen Hufkens, the founder of BlueGreen Labs. They talk about the use of open source tools to address climate change issues, the role of community science, and the responsibility of open source maintainers towards their users. Koen also discusses the challenges of maintaining open source software, the impact of the European Union’s Cyber Resiliency Act on small-scale developers like him and highlights the importance of contributing to a solution for the current climate crisis.

This is a niche within a niche within a niche. It’s a Mamushka niche.

Many people think this is the case, but it is not. If you include everything that affects the climate, everything that is affected by the climate, and all the technologies that are needed to adapt to and combat the climate, you end up with a lot of projects. On OpenSustain.tech we have listed about 1400 projects with an active community. Almost all of them are relevant to climate change because every part of the environment is affected by it. Even just looking at climate models, the amount of software needed to make good predictions is not that small.

Thanks for the tip. I did a little research on the keywords again and was actually able to find a new project: https://github.com/Vizzuality/heco-invest

Earth's uniqueness in creating a stable environment for life in a completely hostile space is a miracle. Various life forms have taken billions of years to build up the natural resources humans depend on, such as a protective atmosphere, fertile soil, stable weather, and clean drinking water. As a movement to democratize technology development and knowledge creation, open source has the potential to become the central driver in preserving this stability. Open Sustainable Technology's mission is to gather projects that preserve natural ecosystems through open technology, methods, data, intelligence, knowledge or tools.
