CHow much of the Paris Agreement commitments will non-federal efforts actually provide?

A new initiative from Bloomberg, BrightHive, and Data for Democracy is looking to create shared values on the ethics of data science. In September, at Bloomberg’s 2017 Data for Good Exchange (D4GX), the group announced a project called the “Community Principles on Ethical Data Sharing” (or CPEDS), which is designed to develop a set of guidelines for data scientists related to data sharing and collaboration on data-driven projects.
