總部位于美國(guó)硅谷的Skoll基金會(huì)日前宣布,獲得eBay創(chuàng)始人Jeff Skoll先生1億美元捐款,用于支持全球疫情防控,應(yīng)對(duì)新冠病毒大流行對(duì)公共衛(wèi)生、經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)的直接和間接影響。
“Jeff Skoll深切關(guān)心如何創(chuàng)造一個(gè)公平、可持續(xù)與和平的世界。流行病是人類面臨的威脅的倍增器和不平等的放大器,這是其他任何疾病都無(wú)法比擬的?!盨koll基金會(huì)新聞稿寫(xiě)到:“Jeff的慷慨解囊使我們能夠?qū)ふ也①Y助應(yīng)對(duì)這一真正全球威脅的最有希望的解決方案。”
Jeff Skoll先生表示:“現(xiàn)在,我們需要把疫情防控放在第一位,理性思考如何回到新的正常狀態(tài)。這將是一個(gè)新的、不同的正常狀態(tài)。重要的是,我們必須認(rèn)識(shí)到,全世界必須作為一個(gè)整體,齊心協(xié)力應(yīng)對(duì)這一情況?!?/p>
“十多年來(lái),Jeff Skoll先生一直在支持流行病的研究和防范工作。Skoll團(tuán)隊(duì)對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題早有關(guān)注,并在持續(xù)加大響應(yīng)力度,用百米沖刺的速度和馬拉松的耐力,通過(guò)資金支持和幫助社會(huì)企業(yè)家、變革引領(lǐng)者和各地社區(qū),協(xié)助他們應(yīng)對(duì)近期和長(zhǎng)期挑戰(zhàn)?!?/p>
在部分基金會(huì)計(jì)劃減少甚至停止公益捐贈(zèng)的時(shí)刻,Skoll基金會(huì)逆向而行,在4月份宣布計(jì)劃將捐助金額增加一倍。有了Jeff Skoll的這筆一億美元的新捐款,Skoll基金會(huì)2020年的捐助總額預(yù)計(jì)將達(dá)到去年的四倍。
據(jù)報(bào)道,Skoll基金會(huì)將把1億美元的新捐款優(yōu)先用于兩個(gè)方面:一是投資開(kāi)發(fā)創(chuàng)新和高效的流行病學(xué)工具,包括新冠病毒的抗體和血清檢測(cè),以及密接追蹤、隔離等;二是為中低收入國(guó)家研發(fā)替代呼吸裝置和其他新冠肺炎治療設(shè)備。
在這一艱難的時(shí)刻,Skoll基金會(huì)致力于支持Skoll社會(huì)企業(yè)家獎(jiǎng)的獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)吆捅毁Y助人,向最需要支持的獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)咛峁┯嗅槍?duì)性的緊急資金,用來(lái)調(diào)整其業(yè)務(wù)模式,幫助其團(tuán)隊(duì)及被服務(wù)對(duì)象渡過(guò)難關(guān)。
Skoll基金會(huì)由eBay聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人Jeff Skoll創(chuàng)建,致力于扶持和培育社會(huì)企業(yè)家。其最重要的資助形式,是每年在全球遴選并頒發(fā)Skoll社會(huì)企業(yè)家獎(jiǎng)。2015年,公眾環(huán)境研究中心(IPE)主任馬軍成為首位獲得這一獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的中國(guó)人,為IPE帶來(lái)資助共計(jì)125萬(wàn)美元。
2020年春節(jié)期間,面對(duì)突如其來(lái)的新冠疫情,IPE在王石先生的支持推動(dòng)下,開(kāi)發(fā)了首個(gè)細(xì)化到城市及區(qū)縣的疫情地圖。這一努力也得到Skoll基金會(huì)的關(guān)注,其主要項(xiàng)目負(fù)責(zé)人Lucien Chan先生撰寫(xiě)了下文,通過(guò)Skoll基金會(huì)的官網(wǎng),向國(guó)際社會(huì)介紹了IPE開(kāi)發(fā)的疫情地圖。

作為2015年斯科爾社會(huì)企業(yè)家獎(jiǎng)(Skoll)的獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)?,公眾環(huán)境研究中心(IPE)開(kāi)發(fā)并運(yùn)行中國(guó)首個(gè)水污染地圖數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù),并聯(lián)合中國(guó)的多家環(huán)保組織組成綠色選擇聯(lián)盟,推動(dòng)大型品牌關(guān)注其在華供應(yīng)商的環(huán)境表現(xiàn)。2020年春節(jié)期間,新冠疫情在武漢爆發(fā),IPE意識(shí)到公眾需要可視化的平臺(tái)及時(shí)、準(zhǔn)確地了解疫情信息。
為此,IPE運(yùn)用多年來(lái)在地圖開(kāi)發(fā)和信息公開(kāi)方面取得的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和積累的專業(yè)能力,成立了新冠病毒地圖緊急應(yīng)對(duì)小組,經(jīng)過(guò)兩天兩夜的奮戰(zhàn),在蔚藍(lán)地圖APP上發(fā)布地級(jí)市疫情地圖。
在此基礎(chǔ)上,IPE進(jìn)一步收集2000多個(gè)區(qū)縣級(jí)的疫情數(shù)據(jù)并進(jìn)行分類、整理、入庫(kù),開(kāi)發(fā)了區(qū)縣級(jí)疫情地圖和小區(qū)疫情分布地圖。研究機(jī)構(gòu)、政府部門和公眾第一次可以通過(guò)手機(jī)端追蹤病例區(qū)縣級(jí)別的分布情況和疫情發(fā)展態(tài)勢(shì)。
用戶還可以通過(guò)蔚藍(lán)地圖網(wǎng)站端的疫情地圖,依據(jù)國(guó)家、省、市、區(qū)縣和小區(qū)街道查看疫情數(shù)據(jù),對(duì)累計(jì)確診、累計(jì)死亡、累計(jì)治愈、現(xiàn)有確診和境外輸入病例數(shù)量進(jìn)行實(shí)時(shí)追蹤。
自2月2日起,IPE通過(guò)微信公眾號(hào)、微博、蔚藍(lán)地圖APP端每日發(fā)布疫情報(bào)告。隨后,疫情地圖也完成了7個(gè)版本的重要迭代開(kāi)發(fā),包括增加國(guó)內(nèi)復(fù)工地圖和風(fēng)險(xiǎn)等級(jí)查詢等功能。而隨著疫情在全球范圍蔓延,用戶也可以通過(guò)蔚藍(lán)地圖查看世界各地的疫情動(dòng)態(tài)。
2月17號(hào)申請(qǐng)的微博話題#IPE全國(guó)區(qū)縣疫情地圖#,在不到兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間內(nèi),話題閱讀量已經(jīng)超過(guò)1億。IPE機(jī)構(gòu)主任馬軍在搜狐視頻直播《大數(shù)據(jù)助力全民戰(zhàn)疫和污染攻堅(jiān)》,在線觀看人數(shù)最高達(dá)200萬(wàn)。疫情地圖在為公眾提供可信賴的動(dòng)態(tài)信息的同時(shí),也協(xié)助各級(jí)政府科學(xué)決策,協(xié)同應(yīng)對(duì)疫情。從隔離和醫(yī)療資源分配的政策建議,到熱點(diǎn)地區(qū)識(shí)別和境外輸入病例的記錄,IPE開(kāi)發(fā)的疫情地圖,在中國(guó)抗擊新冠疫情的公共安全響應(yīng)中發(fā)揮了至關(guān)重要的作用。
后記:
Skoll基金會(huì)還在尋求催化更多投資的機(jī)會(huì),以應(yīng)對(duì)疫情造成的破壞。Skoll基金會(huì)認(rèn)為,疫情將加劇不平等、不公正和不安全問(wèn)題,而這些問(wèn)題對(duì)邊緣化和弱勢(shì)群體的影響尤為嚴(yán)重。
考慮到目前的影響將產(chǎn)生長(zhǎng)期的漣漪效應(yīng),Skoll基金會(huì)正在確定下一波資助將是什么樣的。這是一個(gè)困難和挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)刻,也是一個(gè)創(chuàng)新和獨(dú)特的時(shí)刻。這是一個(gè)用同情心和真正的全球公民意識(shí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的時(shí)刻,正如Jeff所說(shuō),“這一刻,我們同舟共濟(jì)”。

How Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs Harnessed Big Data to Map the Pandemic
June 15, 2020
By Lucien Chan - Skoll Foundation
The Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE), a 2015 Skoll Awardee, is a pioneering NGO that developed the first public database of water pollution information in China and brought together a coalition of Chinese NGOs to push large corporations to focus on the environmental performance of their suppliers. On January 26, Chinese New Year, following the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, IPE recognized the need for accurate, timely data displayed in a way that was easy for people to use.
IPE quickly redeployed its database and mapping infrastructure to track outbreaks and risk of outbreaks in real time, and to give government officials the granular data they needed to make science-based decisions. Two days of round-the-clock work gave birth to the IPE Epidemic Map.
Collecting epidemic data from more than 2,000 districts, IPE classified, sorted, and developed a community outbreak map to help residents understand the severity of the outbreak on their local level, down to individual apartment complexes. For the first time scientists, government leaders, and Chinese citizens could track the numbers of reported coronavirus, where they were located, and the severity of the impact.
Website visitors can view data based on country, region, city, and district, tracking reports by cumulative confirmed cases, cumulative deaths, and cumulative cases recovered. Updates in near real-time reveal present cases confirmed and suspected as well as the number of cases imported from outside of China.
By February 2nd IPE was issuing daily reports on WeChat, Weibo, and its own Blue Map app. Since then, IPE has released seven major versions of the Epidemic Map which now chart trending data from around the world. New features now include a risk tracking function and a work resumption index to indicate which regions of the country are getting back to normal and presumed safe. As the epidemic abates in China, IPE now tracks data on a global basis.
At no more than 2 months, IPE’s Pandemic Map had recorded more than 100 million page views and hit a limit of 2 million simultaneous users. While citizens use the Pandemic Map as a vital source of safety information, government officials rely on data IPE gathers to help inform their scientific decision-making. From policy recommendations regarding quarantines and the deployment of medical resources, to identifying hotspots and recording new outbreaks of cases imported from overseas, the Epidemic Map created by the IPE has played a vital, and life-saving role in China’s public-safety response to the pandemic.
