Digital public goods (DPGs) are open-source, interoperable digital solutions that support sustainable development goals (SDGs) and climate action. This domain equips learners to leverage DPGs for climate monitoring, data sharing, policy simulation, and citizen engagement. Participants gain hands-on skills in open-data platforms, geospatial analytics, digital collaboration, and DPG governance, enabling scalable, inclusive, and transparent climate and SDG interventions.
