Climate Policy Radar at COP26
We are going to Glasgow for COP26, and we’ll be taking part in some exciting events and conversations about data, AI and evidence-based climate policy, sharing our vision and collecting inspiration, new ideas and allies. We’ll also be presenting our very first prototype, and would love for you to see it.
Join us at events or email COP26@climatepolicyradar.org to arrange meeting in person!

Going with the flow: from ancient water systems to AI-enhanced policymaking
This interactive session will explore what is needed to ensure evidence-based decision making to support abundant and healthy living systems - what we can learn from ancient practices of sharing resources in a community, how we can borrow design principles from nature to create and unblock flows of useful knowledge in a system, and how can we use the power of (and avoid the pitfalls of) artificial intelligence to enhance and accelerate evidence-based decision making.
