The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is inviting organisations and individuals to join the OGC Climate & Disaster Resilience Pilot 2024 (CDRP24), which will run from January to June 2024.
The pilot will build upon the outcomes of previous OGC Disaster Pilots, the OGC Climate Resilience Pilot and other climate initiatives.
Funding is available, and applications to participate close 30 December 2023.
CDRP24 is part of OGC’s multi-year initiative to develop and implement open standards for geospatial data that support research and action across climate change and emergency and disaster response, as well as the creation of climate information products that align with the United Nations’ climate change policy frameworks.
Coordinated by OGC and sponsored by international partner organisations, CDRP24 will elicit requirements, build value chains that transform data into information, and create visualisations and simulations that communicate the value of interoperable systems.
Focus topics include wildfires, extreme heat and cold, impacts of drought and flood, water management, global stocktake for emissions, and Analysis Ready Data (ARD).
Participants in the Climate & Disaster Resilience Pilot will be co-funded by the Pilot’s sponsors to provide staff time and expertise, contribute data and infrastructure components, and travel for meetings.
The amount of funding for each participant will be decided individually based on their scope of work. All participants are expected to provide in-kind support to the Pilot to match the OGC funding they receive.
A bidders Q&A webinar will be held on 11 December 2023. Questions to be addressed in the webinar need to be submitted by 8 December.
