Last November, in Sharm el-Sheikh, world leaders renewed their commitments to keep the 1.5°C target within reach and pledged to invest in new climate technologies. While data is at the heart of every innovation guiding national climate adaptation and mitigation policies, policymakers still face a long list of data challenges when it comes to its collection and processing.
