How does the Climate Data Utility interact with other climate data initiatives?

Addressing the lack of high-quality, accessible private-sector climate data requires broad stakeholder collaboration. Because data flows are  complex and often circular, different stakeholders play distinct roles in improving data quality, availability, and comparability.

The Climate Data Utility cannot achieve its mission alone. Financial institutions, real economy companies, policymakers, data service providers, disclosure platforms, and others are often interconnected in driving both the supply and demand of information.

There are many initiatives helping to drive the availability and quality of private sector climate data. The Climate Data Utility aims to centralize data from a variety of different sources building on the important work done by the One Planet Data Initiative and a range of other organizations to increase the transparency of climate data.

Collaborations to connect existing work to the Climate Data Utility will be critical to increasing company coverage, while limiting the reporting burden for companies.
