Project Details

The Challenge | Smash your SDGs!

Your challenge is to develop creative solutions that use Earth observations to address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and foster sustainable development worldwide. Use NASA and other Earth observing satellites’ data as well as information generated by crowd-sourcing and in-situ measurements to create practical applications that support environmental and societal policy across water, health, food security and/or land use domains.

EcoImpact

In EcoImpact we are focused on bringing the SDGs to people around the world

The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve each Goal and target by 2030.

In EcoImpact we are focused on bringing these goals to the people and raise awareness about them. We know that only few people know about SDGs and all the work behind them. We have to change this. So, we have developed an AR app, a website and an action plan to inform everyone about the SDGs.

Resources:

To develop the app we used Unity with the AR SDK Vuforia and Google Sites to develop the website.

For data extraction and cleaning we have used Python, Shiny, Tidyverse and Flexdashboard. The dashboard has been published on Shinyapps.io.
