Public Environmental Data Partners (PEDP) is a coalition committed to preserving, protecting, and expanding public access to federal environmental data and tools. PEDP was founded in 2024 on the belief that access to data is vital for environmental, ecological, and community health, and democracy. Data serves people when they can access it easily and can use it to make better decisions for themselves and their communities.
PEDP archives at-risk environmental data and tools so this vital information remains accessible to the general public. Our organization also develops systems for identifying and monitoring ongoing risks to environmental data and tools.
PEDP rebuilds tools no longer supported by the federal government so that they remain accessible and usable. PEDP also improves on these tools and builds new ones based on feedback and engagement with communities.
PEDP coordinates across the environmental field to develop policy recommendations and legislative strategies that protect data infrastructure. PEDP also creates multimedia stories to raise awareness around key environmental data infrastructure issues across the U.S.
“Came for a datathon, stayed for the community. I realized I could use my coding skills to tackle archiving data sets that have hundreds and thousands of files.”
