Focus on Our Core Mission:
As with all nonprofit structures, advancement depends on soliciting charitable donations, including impact donations and grants. This reliance determines the speed at which progress can be made. As supporters of 2°C, we rely on your word of mouth to help us reach new donors, which in turn helps this vital mission of remote area earth observation.
Exciting Milestones:
The 2°C LEAF climate sensor project has progressed to allow for the first Beta-Test Mobile Application to be made available on the Apple App Store. This marks a significant milestone in the project, although it is only available to iPhone Beta-Testers at this time.
For wider adoption to occur, a similar application needs to be developed for Android users. This will allow for data collection to occur in developing countries, many of whom are feeling the effects of climate change at rates higher than in developed countries.
The 2°C Wavelet has advanced to the 3rd Generation Alpha-Test stage.
This sensor has had major changes and now includes:
This robust sensor platform is now being tested in the USA and Sweden before beta testing with partners.
This project is in partnership with MarineLife 2030 as part of our UNESCO Ocean Decade-endorsed action. (112.2)
We hope to be able to increase observation in the near-shore coral reef areas that are showing a decline due to ocean warming and through our MarineLife 2030 partnership, shed light on the relationship between species migrating and changes in the ocean.
We hope you can be part of our journey!
