“All the efforts on climate action hinge upon the availability of and access to data,” notes the UN office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR).

Yeah, no.

Data isn't the problem. Humans are the problem, specifically elected political humans of the climate denial variety and the media moguls enabling them. The ones who run counties based on just how much their votes can be turned into a personal bottom line.

I think if you figure out how to make politicians rich off actually implementing measures to counter the climate catastrophe, data will magically appear.
