Spoke with the strategy team (Yashika Maheshwari
Data driven climate action program
Climate resilience and adaptation datasets, Tej, Vedant) on Dec 7
Bluesky wants to build the Bloomberg for environmental data
Leverage satellite data to curate and publish/sell environmental datasets
Datasets already published:
Air pollution: increased from ~300 to 3mn data points
Where are farm/forest fires happening; working on 7 days fire forecast
Next up datasets: water levels, flood prediction
Launching a data driven climate action program; work with partners to develop and make use of climate resilience and adaptation datasets
Agreed that DG could leverage a BS developed dataset and package into advisories for farmers (eg, a flood prediction advisory) and potentially feed ground truth data back to BS for model training / validation
The climate action program is launching in coming months, will stay in touch
