CLIMATE INITIATIVES - Approaching science, informing the public, access to data
The Climate Action Tracker is an independent scientific analysis that monitors government climate action and assesses it against the globally accepted Paris Agreement, limiting warming well below 2°C and efforts to limit warming to 1,5°C.
The Global Carbon Project is a global research project of Future Earth and a research partner of the World Climate Research Programme. It was established with the aim of strengthening the cooperation of the international scientific community and establishing a common, mutually agreed knowledge base to support policy debates and measures to mitigate climate change.
The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) promotes ambitious climate action in the private sector that is based on and consistent with scientific findings to mitigate climate change.

A platform for research and visualization of state-of-the-art data on carbon flows resulting from human activities and natural processes. It was created under the auspices of the Global Carbon Project initiative.

An initiative aimed at realizing the concept of Dougnut Economics (Kate Raworth) in reality, to achieve development that enables humanity to successfully survive within planetary boundaries.
Climate change is observed through many continuous, gradual changes. CO level2 in the atmosphere. Ocean temperature. Global sea level rise. The cumulative effect of these changes could also cause dramatic and irreversible changes to fundamental parts of the Earth system. "Tipping points" are turning points where these changes could trigger sudden or irreversible changes in parts of the Earth system.

Climate Watch is an online platform for policymakers, researchers, media and others interested in climate change management. It brings together climate data including NDCs, visualizations and other resources needed to gain insight into achieving progress in this area at both the global and national levels.
An interactive illustrative display of the human impact on climate change over time, created under the auspices of the Global Carbon Project initiative.

It provides standards, guidelines, tools and training for businesses and decision makers in the measurement and management of climate warming emissions.
A global system of transparent environmental impact reporting for companies, cities, countries and regions, with a comprehensive set of data on measures to manage these impacts.
It is an online tool that allows insight and comparison between countries to achieve the "good life" within environmental limits and in a favorable social environment.
The analyzes that enable the tool to function show that currently no country in the world currently meets the basic needs of its citizens at a sustainable level of resource use.
The concept of planetary boundaries represents a set of nine planetary boundaries within which humanity can continue to develop and prosper in future generations.
