Core Components of Climateverse
Stakeholder Input
Stakeholders across government, academia, and NGOs consulted to identify gaps in data access, key areas of data need, and opportunities for improvement.
Data Infographics
Customized visual infographics displaying key data features for at-a-glance assessment of data sources by potential users.
Data Sources
Climate-related data identified through stakeholder input collected from local, regional, and international sources.
Standardization
Primary data sources to be standardized across spatial and temporal scales for easy of interoperability.
Data Tagging
Data tagged with customized set of key features, covering data source, structure, accessibility, temporal and spatial scale, and contextual documentation.
Uncertainty and Limitations
Statistical and operational limitations highlighted to promote accurate, responsible usage of each data set.
Climateverse – South Asia
South Asia is commonly regarded as “ground zero” for climate change. Robust adaptation and disaster response planning requires contextual, empirical, reliable and readily available data.
The South Asia Climateverse, developed with in-region partners, contains 100+ datasets to facilitate this planning and response.
