There are simultaneous interlinked crises across the planet due to human actions: climate change, biodiversity loss, and desertification. Addressing these challenges requires, amongst other things, a global understanding of the present state of affairs and the effectiveness of our adaptations and mitigations, leveraging both data and computation.
However, programming the computer systems required to effectively ingest, clean, collate, process, explore, archive, and derive policy decisions from the planetary data we are collecting is difficult and leads to artefacts presently not usable by non-CS-experts, not reliable enough for scientific and political decision making, and not widely and openly available to all interested parties. Concurrently, domains where computational techniques are already central (e.g., climate modelling) are facing diminishing returns from current hardware trends and software techniques.
PROPL explores how to close the gap between state-of-the-art programming methods being developed in academia and the use of programming in climate analysis, modelling, forecasting, policy, and diplomacy. The aim is to build bridges to the current practices used in the scientific community.
This is the second edition of the workshop. The first edition was co-located with POPL 2024 in London.
