20 October 2023: The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) invites organizations
and individuals to join the OGC Climate & Disaster Resilience Pilot 2024
(CDRP24)
<https://ogc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=704e02f81107a6caab1568067&id=8285e9a44b&e=bcee58bc56>.
Building upon the outcomes of previous OGC Disaster Pilots
<https://ogc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=704e02f81107a6caab1568067&id=0e0ada60fa&e=bcee58bc56>,
the OGC Climate Resilience Pilot
<https://ogc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=704e02f81107a6caab1568067&id=6fb70de71b&e=bcee58bc56>,
and other Climate Initiatives, OGC’s CDRP24 unites the linked challenges of
disaster & climate resilience. The Pilot will run from January to June
2024. Funding is available. *Applications to participate close December 30,
2023. *

Around the world, organizations and individuals are striving to address the
challenges created by climate change, such as more frequent and severe
disasters. Due to their wide-ranging effects, everyone stands to benefit
from a better understanding of climate change and improved information for
decision making during disasters.

CDRP24 forms part of OGC’s ongoing, multi-year initiative to develop and
implement open standards for geospatial data that support research and
action across climate change and emergency & 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 organizations,
CDRP24 will elicit requirements, build value chains that transform data
into information, and create visualizations and simulations that
communicate the value of interoperable systems. CDRP24 activity will work
towards specific end-user, stakeholder, and technical goals that advance
our climate and/or disaster understanding & readiness while also seeding
collaboration between these two connected domains. Focus topics include
wildfires, extreme heat and cold, impacts of drought and flood, water
management, global stocktake for emissions, and Analysis Ready Data (ARD).

OGC Pilots
<https://ogc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=704e02f81107a6caab1568067&id=fba80badc3&e=bcee58bc56>
develop, test and implement open standards-based tools that connect spatial
data, analysis, and services. Participate in CDRP24 to help improve data
access and enhance decision-making throughout the climate domain and over
the life-cycles of disaster management.

Benefits of participation

   -

   Use-case providers get to test innovative technologies against their
   specific requirements.
   -

   Technical and domain experts gain valuable experience and recognition
   for their contributions.
   -

   Data and tool contributors can identify the potential implications of
   emerging standards early in their development.
   -

   More generally, OGC Pilot participants grow their professional networks,
   learn from expert peers, and discover how interoperability can drive
   innovation in their organizations.

Who should participate

   -

   Anyone who uses climate resilience and/or disaster resilience data. This
   includes business and public sector decision makers, policy makers,
   scientists, and service providers.
   -

   Anyone developing knowledge products, services, and/or visualizations
   for the climate and disaster communities. This includes data architects,
   analysts, and software developers.
   -

   Anyone representing community groups, 3rd sector organizations, or NGOs
   engaging with climate change and disaster resilience impacts.

Participants in the Climate and Disaster Resilience Pilot are 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 is 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. OGC membership fees may be
covered through the funding.

The OGC Climate & Disaster Resilience Pilot 2024 will be conducted under OGC's
Collaborative Solutions and Innovation (COSI) Program
<https://ogc.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=704e02f81107a6caab1568067&id=38de8d6198&e=bcee58bc56>,
a collaborative, agile, and hands-on prototyping and engineering
environment where sponsors and OGC members come together to address
location interoperability challenges while validating international open
standards. To learn about the benefits of sponsoring an OGC COSI Program
Initiative such as this, visit the OGC COSI Program webpage
