Information-centricity is important for many sustainability challenges. Examples include:

  • Providing ways to share information across departments, organizations and even national boundaries as part of lifecycle analysis
  • Measuring carbon emissions and the predictive impacts of introducing capture mechanisms or alternative energies
  • Conducting longitudinal studies on the effectiveness of poverty reduction through foreign investment
  • Using advanced analytics to understand the benefits of long-term health programs and emerging risks
  • Being able to trace the complex lineage of trade and food transportation
  • Providing comparative analysis of how changes to one area (reducing carbon emissions) impacts another (food prices)

A principle of FISDev is that better information helps people make objective, evidence-based decisions related to sustainability. You can use the together with FISDev to take an information-centric approach to sustainability.
