The challenge is being implemented in partnership with Western Digital <https://www.wdc.com/> and with support from the Skoll Global Threats Fund <http://www.skollglobalthreats.org/>, and has engaged eleven companies who pledged their data or tools to support climate action. Big data can provide dynamic feedback on how communities affect and are affected by the climate system, and can enable innovation to increase sustainability and resilience. Data for Climate Action encourages researchers and data scientists to use this data to accelerate climate action. Selected participants will have approximately four months to analyze the datasets provided by companies and produce papers, apps, tools and/or platforms. These solutions will be evaluated by a high-level panel of experts in data science and climate change for a November awards ceremony.
