Data (we need a lot of it) Deforestation in Brazilian Amazonia (1988 -2011) dropped from 27, 000 km 2 to 6, 200 km 2
How much it takes to survey Amazonia? 116 -112 30 Tb of data 500. 000 lines of code 150 man/years of software dev 200 man/years of interpreters 116 -113 166 -112
Communicating location is easy Deforestation hotspots in Amazonia
Weather 11, 000 land stations (3000 automated) 900 radiosondes, 3000 aircraft 6000 ships, 1300 buoys 5 polar, 6 geostationary satellites Communicating about data is feasible source: WMO
Communicating concepts is hard vulnerability? climate change? poverty? Image source: WMO
Communicating concepts is hard We’re bad at representing meaning deforestation? degradation? disturbance? degradation
Communicating change is very hard When did the Aral Sea reach the tipping point?
Describing events and processes is very hard When did the flood occur?

Data democracy = community building through knowledge hubs
Full and open access to environmental data is indispensable for global sustainable development
