Magali de Bruyn on TEK, data science and AI, and Indigenous data sovereignty at COP16
Last month DSE participated in the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in Cali, Colombia (COP16). COP16 was the world’s largest biodiversity event to date. It builds on the inaugural COP in 1994 and the global conferences that have followed since.
Honing in on our inaugural program areas
DSE began as a broad vision to utilize data for making a positive impact on environmental challenges. Our funders and founding team were united by an optimism for our planet's health and the pressing need to use everything at our disposal to counter our climate uncertain future. They saw a clear path to leverage current research and expertise and use data to uncover insights for action. Underlying our efforts are open practices - open data, open science, and open source to create work that can be transparent, scalable, easily accessible, and designed with community support.
