Additional Data Sources

This page provides links to several climate data sources and data tools managed by the NDC Partnership’s members and other leading institutions. The list below includes data sources on NDC and climate specific, climate finance, climate policy, and other relevant environmental and development indicators.

NDC and Climate Specific Sources

• NDC Explorer [German Development Institute (DIE)]: Analyzes and compares countries’ NDCs.

• Climate Action Tracker's Data Portal [Climate Action Tracker]: Provides country emission graphs across countries and sectors.

• Climate Watch [World Resources Institute]: Brings together dozens of datasets to let users analyze and compare NDCs, access historical emissions data, discover how countries can leverage their climate goals to achieve their sustainable development objectives, and use models to map new pathways to a lower carbon future.

• NDC-SDG Connections [German Development Institute (DIE), Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI)]: Analyses and compares NDCs with each of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

• Gender Climate Tracker [WEDO]: Provides information, data, and resources to track progress on gender integration into climate policy.

Climate Finance Sources
