How Data-Driven Strategies Turned the Tide Against Climate Change

Earth, 2030. The world has achieved what was almost unthinkable only a decade prior - stabilizing the globe’s climate and staving off the worst of the possible impacts of extreme climate. The Earth’s ecosystems are now protected from the rampant resource exploitation that characterized much of human development, while digitally informed and engaged citizenry ensure that governments provide the regulatory latticework needed to maintain a low carbon world. Public access to carbon emissions data enable the effective regulation of polluters, the identification of the most impactful strategies, and a stable and effective means to accurately price carbon. This discussion explores some of the potential ways we can realize this vision.
