[open-sustainability] Fantastic post

[Milica Begovic]

Dear Open Sustainability crew,

I just came across the post on OKFN (http://blog.okfn.org/2012/11/30/launching-open-sustainability-working-group/) that prompted me to sign up.

In Montenegro, UNDP is supporting the government in establishing an environmental monitoring information system, where our objective is to try and go beyond the traditional mechanisms of measurement.  We'd like to explore cutting edge technology and research that will allow us to both engage citizens in environmental decision making, create rapid/real time feedback loops in various sectors, and open up the data in order to incentivize engagement, innovation and new job opportunities.

So tomorrow we're organizing a 1 day meeting with all municipalities to discuss how new technology can be used for noise management<http://www.undp.org.me/home/2012/sm/noise.html> and in about 10 days, a 2-day seminar on air-quality egg<http://www.undp.org.me/home/2012/sm/air.html> - real time air quality monitoring where emitting data is available in a machine readable form.  We are super interested to partner up and join forces in these and other sectors (GHG emissions monitoring, protected areas, water, etc).

Looking forward to hear from the group
Best
Millie
