Avoin is a global network of programmers, designers, and environmentalists advancing sustainable development together with open-source solutions. Our key areas of expertise are data science, programming, environmental modeling, and user experience design. We often talk about work for sustainable development as a heroic act, which it is. But a lot of the work for the good of the environment and humanity is invisible. It happens on the sidelines of showy gestures. Here you will find stories of the crucial work that aims to keep our planet habitable, yet often stays unnoticed. Welcome to the backstage of the show! -Tuula Cox
