The Plan-EO Initiative
@planeoproject.bsky.social
We combine climate, health, and big data to map childhood diarrhea risks and support local solutions in low- and middle-income countries.
Turning data into action so no child dies from preventable disease.

💻 Big shout-out to UVA’s Research Computing team! 🙌
With support from the Data Analytics Center and Ivy Secure Environment, Plan-EO built the data infrastructure powering our geospatial dashboard ☁️🗺️.

🌍 Plan-EO makes all its data open and accessible! 💡📊

Our paper in PLOS Global Public Health maps where homes in low and middle-income countries are more likely to have covered floors, a key factor in child health 🏠🦠

💧 In 2019, unsafe WASH caused over 1M child deaths, including 69% of diarrheal deaths worldwide according to @who.int. @planeoproject.bsky.social is building a dashboard under @jmcolston.bsky.social leadership linking climate + child health to guide solutions.

@ourworldindata.org shows diarrheal diseases are now the 5th leading cause of death in children📉the lowest ever recorded. A global health milestone 🌍but risks remain. At Plan-EO we’re working to lock in progress with data + action 💡💪. www.planeo.earth

We’re excited to be on Bluesky and share our research!

Our Plan-EO protocol shows how our dashboard will map child diarrheal pathogens, climate & sanitation risks in LMICs.

Dashboard launching soon! For now, read the protocol linked here👇
