The Climate Data Collaborative is a new initiative at the Data Foundation designed to address the critical need for reliable, standardized data to quantify and verify climate mitigation activities across the United States. The U.S. is working to enhance methods to quantify and confirm greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions across various sources and sinks. There's an opportunity to improve the accessibility and formatting of existing data to better serve the needs of key stakeholders such as policymakers, community leaders, and businesses. To address these opportunities, the U.S. government has released a National Strategy to Advance a Greenhouse Gas Measurement, Monitoring and Information System.

The Climate Data Collaborative aims to leverage this strategy, serving as a trusted intermediary to foster public-private partnerships and develop standardized, accessible data that helps quantify and verify climate mitigation activities across the United States. This high-level webinar will introduce the initial focus areas of the Climate Data Collaborative, along with its strategic vision and approach for empowering effective climate action through open-source greenhouse gas data.
