Using Alteryx @Bulien_Partners built a report which shows & compares average water temperature by region. Future improvements: - More datasets - Machine learning & time series forecasting - Power BI for visualisations - Dynamically interpret data from DEFRA

🌍🚌 We stopped by the Carbon Battle Bus on its #ZeroCarbonTour to #COP26 during day 2 of #DataVsClimateChange. It was great to discuss what our business community can do in the #RaceToNetZero and how data can play its part.
