  • news feed needs tweaking. It’s still showing just four news sources for screen after screen. 
  • connection needed to OrientDb. Initial test queries are with Kurt. 
  • workflow narratives need development.
  • data strategy under discussion.
  • newsletters and alerts.
  • outreach and marketing strategy.
  • additional topic pages and tags for climate. 

 

Status of Topic Page updates:

-Air emissions — add what % of global emissions us makes up as faq

Are there events to add beyond clean air act?

International air pollution agreements aside from Paris and greenhouse

 

-Climate diplomacy — next step is to look at COP 27 website for things we can use as background
