Data for Climate Action: Leveraging Data Science and Engineering ...
summary
Ecosia builds a shopping vertical that ranks products by an aggregated sustainability score drawn from a public green database (open source, scraped from retailers and cleaned/mapped against inconsistent labels). The system finds that fewer than 10–20% of items include usable sustainability metadata, forcing manual label mapping and university partnerships for domain validation; outcome: prioritized results plus labels work but coverage and standardization remain the main failure points.
