Other open-source data and tools
(many of them are data portals)
- European Data Explorer by European Environment Agency provides a comprehensive set of indices, listed in hazard categories defined by the European Topic Centre on Climate Change impacts, vulnerability and Adaptation in their report "Climate-related hazard indices for Europe". These categories are very similar to what we listed in this Wiki.
- Climate Change Knowledge Portal by the World Bank provides historical and future climate and climate-related datasets. The data draw on global, quality-controlled data sets and are continually updated as new data becomes available. In some cases, the CCKP is supplemented with other sources of information.
- Climate Change Dashboard by the IMF provides indicators such as Climate-driven INFORM Risk, a global, open source risk assessment for crises and disasters, and ND-GAIN index, a global free open-source index, that measures a country’s current vulnerability to climate disruptions and assesses a country’s readiness to leverage private and public sector investment for adaptive actions.
- The Climate Toolbox is a collection of web tools for visualizing past and projected climate and hydrology of the contiguous United States.
- The Climdex project by WCRP offers a range of climate extremes indices.
- The Data Lab of WRI provides open access to reliable data that enable users to monitor forests with satellites, track the drivers of climate change, understand indigenous communities land rights, plan for water scarcity, examine the cross-section of global environmental issues and more.
- Climate Watch of WRI is a platform that allows users to access the latest historical greenhouse gas emissions data, track net-zero targets and explore nationally determined contributions and long-term strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- The High Plains Regional Climate Center serves to increase the use and availability of climate data and information. We achieve this by providing climate services, developing climate data and information products, engaging our stakeholders, and conducting applied climate research.Its six-state region covers Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
