Over three years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement, global investment in climate change mitigation, adaptation and putting economies on a more sustainable footing has reached new heights. However, efforts to date have really only scratched the surface and more information is needed. Little centralised, standardised and reliable data for developing and transition economies exists and is often difficult to access. This talk discusses the problems, proposes solutions and spells out a bold new vision for solving the climate crisis: the data revolution.

The data revolution: why we need better - and more - information to solve the climate crisis

Dr Harald Heubaum (Lecturer in Global Energy and Climate Policy)
Felicia Jackson (Entrepreneur, Consultant and Teaching Fellow in Global Energy and Climate Policy)
Over three years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), global investment in climate change mitigation, adaptation and putting economies on a more sustainable footing has reached new heights. To unlock the trillions of $ of necessary financial flows, more information about conditions on the ground and the effectiveness of investments aligned with climate action and sustainable development was and is needed. This talk discusses the problems, proposes solutions and spells out a bold new vision for solving the climate crisis.
