[okfn-za] Open Data on CO2 Emissions

Wed Apr 24 14:07:52 UTC 2013

Hi guys.

This is gonna sound nepotistic, but my sister happens to be one of ZA's
leading environmental lawyers with an special interest in carbon emissions
& offsets, etc. She might have leads to additional sources of data,
including something that has been a bug bear of mine for yonks: someone
needs to start scraping & aggregating EIAs & related documentation on a
public platform, with an idiot-proof API, for proper analysis & tracking.

I've copied Gillian above ... apologies in advance for the ambush, sis ;-).

Cheers,
Justin
