>> http://blog.okfn.org/2012/11/30/launching-open-sustainability-working-group/>
>> of the Open Knowledge Foundation and invite you to join the Open

>> Sustainability is one of the most important challenges of our time. We
>> are facing global environmental crises, such as climate change, resource
>> depletion, deforestation, overfishing, eutrophication, loss of
>> biodiversity, soil degradation, environmental pollution, etc. We need to
>> move towards a more sustainable and resilient society, that ensures the
>> well-being of current and future generations, that allows us to progress
>> while stewarding the finite resources and the ecosystems we depend on.
>>
>> Data is needed to monitor the condition of the environment and to measure
>> how we are performing and progressing (or not) towards sustainability.
>> Transparency and feedback is key for good decision-making, for allowing
>> accountability and for tracking and tuning performance. This is true both
>> at an institutional level, such as working with national climate change
>> goals; at a company level, such as deciding the materials for building a
>> product; and at a personal level, deciding between chicken and salmon at
>> the supermarket. However, most of the environmental information is closed,
>> outdated, static, or/and in text documents that are not possible to process.
>>
>>
>> For instance, unlike gross domestic product (GDP) and other publicly
>> available data, carbon dioxide emissions data is not published frequently
>> and in disaggregated form. While the current international climate
>> negotiations at Doha <
>> http://unfccc.int/meetings/doha_nov_2012/meeting/6815.php> discuss joint
>> global efforts for the reduction of greenhouse gas emission, climate data
>> is not freely and widely available.

>>
>> “Demand CO2 data!<
>> http://blog.okfn.org/2012/09/21/demand-carbon-dioxide-data-says-hans-rosling-to-open-data-advocates-at-okfestival/>”
>> urged Hans Rosling at the Open Knowledge Festival in Helsinki last
>> September, encouraging a data-driven discussion of energy and resources.
>> “We can have climate change beyond our expectations, which we haven’t done
>> anything in time for” said Rosling in outlining the biggest challenges of
>> our time. Activists don’t even demand the data. Many countries, such as
>> Sweden, show up for climate negotiations without having done their CO2
>> emissions reporting for many months. Our countries should report on climate
>> data in order for us to see the big picture.
>>
>> Sustainability data should be open and freely available so anyone is free
>> to use, reuse, and redistribute it. This data should be easy to access,
>> both usable for the public but also accessible in standard machine-readable
>> formats for enabling reuse and remix. And by sustainability data we do not
>> mean only CO2 information, but all data that is necessary for measuring the
>> state of, and changes in, the environment, and data which supports progress
>> towards sustainability. This include a diversity of things like: scientific
>> climate data and temperature records, environmental impact assessment of
>> products and services, emissions and pollution information from companies
>> and governments, energy production data or ecosystem health indicators.
>>
>> To move towards this goal, we are founding a new Working Group on Open
>> Sustainability, which seeks to:
>>
>>
>> * advocate and promote the opening up of sustainability information and
>> datasets
>>  * collect sustainability information and maintain a knowledge base of
>> datasets
>> * act as a support environment / hub for the development of
>> community-driven projects
>> * provide a neutral platform for working towards standards and
>> harmonization of open sustainability data between different groups and
>> projects.
>>
>>
>> The Open Sustainability Working Group is open for anyone to join. We hope
>> to form an interdisciplinary network from a range of backgrounds such as
>> academics, business people, civil servants, technologists, campaigners,
>> consultants and those from NGOs and international institutions. Relevant
>> areas of expertise include sustainability, industrial ecology, climate and
>> environmental science, cleanweb development, ecological economics, social
>> science, sustainability, energy, open data and transparency. Join the Open
>> Sustainability Working Group by signing up to the mailing list<
>> http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-sustainability> to share
>> your ideas and to contribute.
>>
>> Creating a more sustainable society and mitigating climate change are
>> some of the very hardest challenges we face. It will require us to
>> collaborate, to create new knowledge together and new ways of doing things.
>> We need open data about the state of the planet, we need transparency about
>> emissions and the impact of products and industries, we need feedback and
>> we need accountability. We want to leverage all the ideas, technologies and
>> energy we can to prevent catastrophic environmental change.
>>
>> This initiative was started by the OKFestival Open Knowledge and
>> Sustainability and Green Hackathon<
>> http://openeconomics.net/2012/10/06/okfestival-sustainability-stream-recap/>
>> team including Jorge Zapico, Hannes Ebner (The Centre for Sustainable
>> Communications at KTH), James Smith (Cleanweb UK), Chris Adams (AMEE), Jack
>> Townsend (Southampton University) and Velichka Dimitrova (Open Knowledge
