The Environmental Data & Governance Initiative (EDGI) is a research collaborative that works to document, analyze, and contextualize changes in environmental data and governance practices. Its work aims to support evidence-based policy-making and public-interest science by advancing the Environmental Right-to-Know and promoting accountability for government and industry through participatory civic technologies and infrastructures.
Based in the United States and operating remotely, EDGI engages a diverse network of professionals to build communities of practice and publicly accessible tools that enhance transparency and public knowledge across environmental information resources. Since its formation in 2016, the organization has evolved into a watchdog focused on federal environmental data and governance changes, highlighting impacts on information access and contributing to the emerging field of environmental data justice. A recent development highlighted by its activities includes initiatives to expand public participation in environmental governance through new programs and published analyses.
