Data availability has increased exponentially over the past decade. However, these tend to be ‘stove-piped’ as providers focus on their own areas of expertise. As a result, data is provided by different sources, in other locations, and in many cases, in different, incompatible formats.
We are developing a Climate Security Index (CSI) that will allow academics and
policymakers to conduct evidence-based research into an imperative global challenge. The CSI would be able to produce an aggregate, comparable, subnational dataset that provides relevant information for academics and policymakers to analyze indicators across the climate security nexus.
The CSI will be initially developed and piloted in Sub-Saharan Africa.
