Earth's uniqueness in creating a stable environment for life in a completely hostile space is a miracle. Various life forms have taken billions of years to build up the natural resources humans depend on, such as a protective atmosphere, fertile soil, stable weather, and clean drinking water. As a movement to democratize technology development and knowledge creation, open source has the potential to become the central driver in preserving this stability. Open Sustainable Technology's mission is to gather projects that preserve natural ecosystems through open technology, methods, data, intelligence, knowledge or tools.
Many people think this is the case, but it is not. If you include everything that affects the climate, everything that is affected by the climate, and all the technologies that are needed to adapt to and combat the climate, you end up with a lot of projects. On OpenSustain.tech we have listed about 1400 projects with an active community. Almost all of them are relevant to climate change because every part of the environment is affected by it. Even just looking at climate models, the amount of software needed to make good predictions is not that small.
