What’s missing? What should be done first?
Data (we need a lot of it)
Deforestation in Brazilian Amazonia (1988-2011)dropped from 27,000 km2 to 6,200 km2
166-112
116-113
116-112
30 Tb of data500.000 lines of code
150 man/years of software dev200 man/years of interpreters
How much it takes to survey Amazonia?
Communicating location is easy
Deforestation hotspots in Amazonia
Weather
source: WMO
11,000 land stations (3000 automated)900 radiosondes, 3000 aircraft 6000 ships, 1300 buoys5 polar, 6 geostationary satellites
Communicating about data is feasible
Communicating concepts is hard
Image source: WMO
vulnerability? climate change? poverty?
degradation
We’re bad at representing meaning
deforestation? degradation? disturbance?
Communicating concepts is hard
When did the Aral Sea reach the tipping point?
Communicating change is very hard
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
RDC forest surveillance service(Brazilian support thru FAO)
Data democracy needs to reach the masses!
