Open Up Guide for Climate Action
To track climate trends and design effective climate policy, the
availability and use of data are essential. When it comes to climate
data, everyone can play a role. Public and private organisations,
civil society initiatives and citizens can all be producers, users and
intermediaries of the data. 

To understand how open data adds value to the climate agenda in Latin
America, the Open Data Charter and the World Resources Initiative
developed the Open Up Guide for Climate Action
[https://open-data-charter.gitbook.io/open-up-guide-using-open-data-to-advance-climate-a].

This guide shows which (open) data is relevant for climate action,
based on input from the climate change and open data communities. It
also presents a prescriptive list of priority data that should be
opened by government bodies.

Having this document in place helps to create a baseline approach for
how to achieve climate goals with good data governance. The priority
list will also encourage public bodies to make more high-quality data
available.

Lessons learned in creating the guide are also including to improve
next versions. In the current edition, oceanographic data was added
for instance, which are critical data for climate action, especially
for countries with large coastlines.
