[QGIS-Developer] Technology competition to support land use planning, linked to QGIS

[Alex Zvoleff]

Hi all,

Given it relates to development of open source geospatial tools (with a preference for QGIS, and an explicit requirement to link with a QGIS plugin - Trends.Earth) I thought there might be interest from some on this list in an international technology innovation competition recently announced by the Group on Earth Observations Land Degradation Neutrality (GEO-LDN) Initiative<https://www.geo-ldn.org/competition-overview> to design and build a software analytics solution to support more transparent and well-informed land use decisions at the local to national level.

Proposals are due August 31. If you are interested feel free to reach out to me, or to info at geo-ldn.org<mailto:info at geo-ldn.org> with any questions.

Winning solutions will be promoted by the GEO-LDN Initiative and the UNCCD for use by all countries committed to set voluntary LDN targets and to monitor and report on SDG Indicator 15.3.1  "Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area". The winner(s) of the competition will also benefit from financial and technical support valued at USD 100,000 for the transformation of the prototype into an operational and scalable tool, and a 2-year license for free access to use Google Earth Engine (GEE) as part of their solution.

Best,
Alex
