CALL FOR CODE

ABOUT

Call for Code is the Official developer engagement platform for the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Alliance. Created by David Clark Cause, with the support of Founding Partner IBM, Global Partner UN Human Rights and Affiliate the Linux Foundation, Call for Code asks the 24 million developers around the world each year to help solve climate challenges with software solutions. 


With an assist from French President Emmanuel Macron at the VivaTech Conference in Paris in 2018, IBM announced their initial $30 million dollar investment in the Call for Code Global Initiative, and the following year upped their support to 55 million so they could help develop and deploy top solutions.


Now in its eighth year, Call for Code has become the largest engagement of developers in history, with millions of tech tech submissions, and over 40,000 apps created to date.

WINNING TEAM EXAMPLE:

SAAFWATER

A team of developers from Bangalore, India, driven by personal experience and shared resolve, set out to address the dangers of unsafe drinking water. One member's mother fell ill from polluted water, a hardship echoed in the stories of others from villages across the country.



Determined to find a solution, they developed an IoT and AI-powered platform that monitors drinking water in real-time. The system alerts users via a free mobile app the moment contamination is detected and provides guidance on purification. What started as a personal project has grown into a life-saving, scalable solution.
