- Abstract:
- The Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Digital Solutions programme is developing a platform and set of toolkits that exploit environmental and other data to create innovative digital services that deliver economic, societal and environmental benefits across the UK. We are building an online digital platform and set of user friendly toolkits that facilitate improved access and better use of NERC data, integrated with other data, to support decision making across a wide range of sectors. Initially we will focus on two areas 'Connected Healthy Nation' and 'A Climate Ready Nation'. We will working with a range of partners in local and national government, the private sector, technology sector, infrastructure providers, health sector, transportation, urban and regional planning, environmental science and a whole range of local and national agencies we will facilitate improved decision making in a wide range of sectors. Our tools will benefit society by improving decision makers' ability to make informed decisions through the integration of data that have potential benefits for the future prosperity of the UK. This ranges from local to national government, the NHS, utility sector, transport infrastructure, insurance industry, housing developers as well as individual members of society. Providing easier access to NERC's environmental data offers opportunities to improving peoples' health and better understanding the impacts of climate change on people, land and property across the UK.
