Totally agree that the tech is there, just need the political will to scale it up. In the meantime, great to see initiatives like yours helping drive climate action from the bottom up. Looking forward to checking it out on PH! I think tech can also help by connecting people and orgs working on these issues to share knowledge and coordinate efforts.

The best thing is, that we already have the necessary technology to address most pressing challenges, but systemic change is needed, so we have to press policy- and decision- makers to better utilize it. Until then, we have to try to fill the gaps, while functioning in current socioeconomic conditions.
That was a major motivation for our project for sustainable climate action, which allows individuals to take measurable steps to reduce climate impact, by participating in ecosystem restoration projects. We are launching soon here on PH :)
Definitely, tech is key for tackling big issues like climate and health. But we need systemic change too - gotta push leaders to actually use the tech we have. In the meantime, we can try to fill gaps ourselves. That's why we launched our climate action project on PH - lets people directly support eco restoration to reduce their own climate impact. Small steps, but they add up!
Advanced algorithms and high-performance computing can model climate patterns and predict future climate https://www.bbcjhelum.com/ scenarios, helping in planning and adaptation strategies.
