Global Data Lab is on the move with new products. While the world is discussing global transformative climate action at COP28 UAE in Dubai, we launched the Climate Cooperative Initiatives Database (C-CID). It seems like this database collecting cooperative climate initiatives are collaborative arrangements between two or more actors is a good resource for individuals, firms and organizations who want to live climate action. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gj6zAScc. Thanks to Sander Chan and Andrew Deneault for entrusting us with your great work.

This gray November day marks an important and colorful day for the Global Data Lab. Today, we launched our geo-spatial database with national and sub-national temperature, precipitation and humidity data for the period 1990 to 2022. For more information check out our website: https://lnkd.in/e4DxkfWu. Please join me in congratulating Olexiy Kyrychenko for the fantastic work.

GDL published a new working paper which explains how the GDL Vulnerability Index (GVI) was created. GVI measures the socioeconomic aspects of climate change vulnerability and can be calculated for countries, parts of countries and combinations of countries. The working paper can be found here https://lnkd.in/eNephB8b

De World Bank released its latest Global Economic Prospects report, https://lnkd.in/edXkcBp. The number of people in extreme poverty and food insecurity in low-income countries (LICs) has risen. One of the main causes are climate change events. The GDL has developed the GVI, an instrument with which the socio-economic vulnerability to climate change is measured and can be compared between countries. Actual and projected data is available for 2020-2100. #radboudecon https://lnkd.in/eeBQe3Jc
