The Joint Committee on Climate Change (JC3) today issued the Climate Data Catalogue (“data catalogue”) and an accompanying report that summarises its key findings and outlines recommendations to bridge the data gaps.

The data catalogue contains critical data needed by the financial sector to support pre-identified use cases, and includes data that are available, partially available, and unavailable, as well as observations on data gaps.

The data catalogue is aimed at serving as a source of reference on climate and environmental data for the financial sector, and represents a call to action for stakeholders to collectively improve the availability and accessibility of climate data.

The PDF version of the data catalogue is attached in the report, while the same content is available in Excel for ease of data filtration and search purposes.

Moving forward, JC3 will pursue efforts to collaborate with relevant stakeholders to bridge data gaps. An immediate area of focus for 2023 is to work with data providers to improve the availability and accessibility of a number of the top priority data items.
