One backbone for climate evidence across CGIAR.
The Climate Action Data Hub increases the visibility, accessibility and usability of climate-related data, methods and tools — so researchers, program 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.
Principles
Data is CC-BY-4.0 unless noted; code is open-source; standards are public.
Every dataset is described precisely and cited, never just linked.
Stream and subset from object storage — pull megabytes, not terabytes.
Centers, programs and partners contribute data, tools and stories.
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 data standards before publication. For more information about this process and the governance of the Hub, see our governance process.
How the pieces fit together — the metadata layer, cloud-native distribution, the build pipeline and the machine interfaces — is documented in the Hub’s architecture blueprint.
