International climate indicator submissions — what this page shows and how to use it

What is this database?

This database is a merged collection of climate change indicators submitted by international organisations — such as UN agencies, research bodies, and global networks. These organisations proposed indicators to help the world measure progress on climate adaptation and resilience.

The data is organised by "Submission" — each submission is from a specific organisation (e.g. UNEP, WHO, FAO, academic institutions). Each submission contains indicators grouped into categories by theme or sector.
