About the Hub

One backbone for climate evidence across CGIAR.

The Climate Data Hub increases the visibility, accessibility and usability of climate-related data, methods and tools — so researchers, programme designers and partner countries can get to trustworthy evidence fast, and build on each other's work instead of starting over.

Find

Quality-assured datasets, consistently formatted and documented, discoverable from a single catalog.

Use

Cloud-native distributions, runnable tutorials, and reference docs that turn raw climate data into decision-ready analysis.

Apply

Use-case stories that connect the data to real decisions and finance.

How we work

Principles

Open by default

Data is CC-BY-4.0 unless noted; code is open-source; standards are public.

Metadata over marketing

Every dataset is described precisely and cited, never just linked.

Cloud-native first

Stream and subset from object storage — pull megabytes, not terabytes.

Built collaboratively

Centers, programmes and partners contribute data, tools and stories.

Governance

Who runs the Hub

The Hub is a product of CGIAR Climate Action, maintained by a small engineering and data-stewardship team at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, working across CGIAR Centers. Datasets are reviewed against the Hub’s metadata and STAC profile before publication; contributions are triaged by the stewardship team and versioned in the open on GitHub.
