Climate Data Collaborative
Accelerating Climate Action: Building Connections Between Data and Decision-Makers
In the fall of 2024, the Data Foundation launched the Climate Data Collaborative to make climate and environmental data work better for decision-makers across sectors.
Our vision is a federated and interoperable data ecosystem where decision-makers have the data needed to drive markets, mitigation, conservation, finance and compliance—one where public agencies provide foundational data and private actors are motivated to contribute.
The Climate Data Collaborative is led by Executive Director Ryan Alexander and Senior Advisor Sonia Wang, with support from a growing bench of scientific, technical, and policy experts who bring decades of combined experience in greenhouse gas measurement, modeling, and standards development as well as environmental economics. The team’s broad efforts to improve the quality, accessibility, and usefulness of climate and environmental data are driven by the following initiatives.
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Coalition brings together technical expertise from academia, private sector, NGOs, and former government officials to strengthen and coordinate the U.S. greenhouse gas measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV) ecosystem.
▶ Global Digital Single Market Alliance
The Global Digital Single Market Data Alliance (DSMDA) serves as a convening platform engaging governments, regulators, financial institutions, and other stakeholders to build the robust climate and natural capital open-source data ecosystems market actors need to access green finance, carbon markets, and comply with statutory reporting demands.
▶ Methane Plume Technical Working Group
The Methane Plume Technical Working Group supports the rapidly growing field of remote sensing for the detection and quantification of methane emissions.
▶ Open Data Portal for Neighborhood-Level Emissions
In partnership with Crosswalk Labs, we launched an open data portal at open.crosswalk.io that provides free access to neighborhood-level emissions information, empowering local communities to take informed climate action.
We drive change by facilitating collaborative thought leadership, convening technical experts and decision-makers across sectors; conducting original research; engaging policymakers; and developing data platforms to improve the accessibility and usefulness of climate and environmental data.
