About Digital Service for the Planet
Digital Service for the Planet
Our environment is rapidly changing, and decision makers across sectors—and at every level of government—lack the data and technology they need to respond and adapt to that change. From clean air and drinking water, to megafires and biodiversity loss, the stakes are high and getting higher for how the nation will tackle those priorities quickly and at scale.
The Digital Service for the Planet (DSP) is a collaboration between New America’s Technology and Democracy programs, New America’s New Practice Lab, and the Environmental Policy Innovation Center (EPIC). This partnership is designed to incubate innovative digital tools, data, policies, and strategies that government can use to improve the delivery of services across our ecosystems, communities, and environmental priorities.
