Summary

The Partnership for Resilience and Preparedness (PREP), launched by the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, aims to empower global resilency planning through accessible platforms that convey climate data in a meaningful way. CARTO is involved with PREP, aligning its mission to democratize data visualization and analysis with the initiative's goals. The open-source beta platform launched by PREP enables users worldwide to access relevant information for their own data-driven apps, and CARTO plans to continue translating open data into engaging stories through data storytelling and analysis. By connecting non-specialists with climate data, PREP and CARTO aim to facilitate collective action in the face of global climate change.
