Better use of data is key to more effective government. Across government, teams are doing fascinating work with data. But those projects don’t get the attention they deserve.
At this month's event, the 31st in our series, the speakers will present their work in an exciting, quickfire format. Each speaker has eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience.
This month's speakers, with a focus on climate change, were:
- Simon McLellan, Head of Data at the Met Office, on the big data challenges of weather and climate data
- Dr Thomas Sadler, Head of Environmental Statistics Development, ONS, on developing the UK’s Climate Change Statistics Portal
- Jolene Tan, Trase Communications Lead at Global Canopy, on mapping the deforestation impact of commodity supply chains
- Dr Ali Mashayek, Lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering, Imperial College London, on climate dynamics and the effect on the warming of the oceans
The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Associate at the Institute for Government.
