New Security Beat

User-driven data drives @Shanna_McClain's work at @NASAEarth where she is focused on the end-user and wants to know "what it’s going to do to help people on the ground with real-world problems." They often do this through non-conventional partners towards building #resilience.

Human-center design and the need to "translate" data and statistics so both data scientists and humanitarians can move towards closing science-policy and science-action gaps - @Shanna_McClain @NASAEarth #EarthDayatWilson

How do you begin to tackle the world's plastic problem? @Winnie_WYLau @pewenvironment's team modeled the global plastic system to develop strategies to diminish ocean #plasticpollution. Findings are to be released in June!

Teasers of @pewenvironment's results: 1. There is no single solution to this problem, it's going to take a global approach. A path does exist. 2. There are promising results after conducting a global policy analysis to see the global governments' response to plastic pollution

Panelists are now answering the question, how can global leaders empower women to stop global #climatechange? Governments can empower women by providing role models, inclusion and diversity of women, having a gender-lens, and many more paths. #EarthDay #EarthDayatWilson

"Climate is one element of a very complex situation." @Shanna_McClain @NASAEarth that effort should be made to make sure that what happens at the global decision-making level supports what's happening on the ground locally.
