April 22, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. In recognition of this milestone Earth Day Network, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and the U.S. Department of State are launching Earth Challenge 2020 as the world's largest coordinated citizen science campaign.
Earth Challenge 2020 will engage millions of global citizens to aggregate and collect more than one billion data points in areas including air quality, water quality, biodiversity, pollution, and human health. Through Earth Challenge 2020, citizen science volunteers will learn about their local conditions, and leverage information to inspire collaborative action and influence policy decisions.
Want to get involved in the Earth Challenge 2020 movement?

What topic would you like to see researched by millions of potential citizen scientists? Tell us before November 22, 2018! Submit your question using the EarthDay.org webform or on Twitter (@Earth_Challenge) using #EC2020.
