There’s a new WRI report out on Implementing Open Data —
* In Chile, the Center for Climate and Resilience Research uses open data to build nationally-relevant climate models and a platform for easy data access.
* Aclímate Colombia integrates data from several sources, including open government datasets, to help farmers understand and adapt to changing weather patterns, enabling research institutes and farmers’ associations to make better recommendations regarding planting dates, crop varieties, and other farm practices.
* In the aftermath of the 2016 Aceh earthquake in Indonesia, scientists, local and national government officials, and communities collaborated through the InaSAFE open data platform to identify risks to communities and infrastructure. The shared data and knowledge then equipped disaster managers to better prioritize response and recovery efforts.
