WE ARE BUILDING
Climate Data Hub
BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN DATA AND ACTION
We are building information exploration and discovery hubs to drive action on climate change and nature loss. Our mission is to help change makers rapidly access the information they need to create and implement change.
We’re prototyping and building now – help shape Climate Data Hub and take our newest survey (link opens a Google form).

Solving the climate crisis is a planet-wide effort.
It’s an enormous, complex effort to navigate. It’s multi-disciplinary, cross-societal, global and local.
Climate solutions require collaboration, cooperation, and co-creation across disciplines, governments, and communities.
FROM DATA TO ACTION
We are creating Climate Data Hub to help data-driven innovators and change makers accelerate their efforts to address the climate crisis. It’s a data discovery tool that leverages AI, semantic search, and intuitive UX to help users rapidly identify relevant data – but we don’t stop there. We help users map data to action – and that means providing users with the social and policy context they need to move their projects forward.
STARTING HERE
Climate Data Hub will provide enhanced discovery of information relevant to water and food security, biodiversity, and human interactions with global and regional ecosystems.
HELP SHAPE THE TOOL
We are currently looking at helping users with stakeholder discovery and inclusion. Help shape the tool by answering a short (3 to 5 minute) survey.
Benefits
Climate Data Hub is for change makers. Our hubs will help communities of action leverage existing knowledge, discover opportunities for applications and analyses, and connect to partners, projects, and support.
Explore Across Disciplines
Explore climate-relevant datasets from multiple domains – scientific, social, financial, geospatial.
Search by Geospatial Context
Use geospatial context to view and filter your datasets. See datasets in relation to others about the same locations.
Rapidly Assess Quality
Decide whether datasets fit your criteria with visual indicators for dataset completeness, coverage, and quality.
Find Data Whitespace
Use Climate Data Hub to discover opportunities to apply your data collection technologies or projects.
Discover Project Synergies
Find complementary datasets for your project. Get in touch with dataset producers about licensing or access.
Find Stakeholders & Partners
Find people and organizations associated with your locations or datasets of interest. Get in touch and start collaborating!
explore data in context
We’re designing Climate Data Hub to help users see data in relation to the things affect our ability to take action, including people, places, and policies.
The current climate crisis is underscores the complex web of interrelationships between all things on Earth. See those relationships whenever you search Climate Data Hub.
