Overview
In close consultation and coordination with the Center for Open Data Enterprise and Open Data Watch (ODW), PARIS21 will help develop an ecosystem in Senegal for climate change data to help improve its climate change data practices, governance, and use. Work in Senegal will include a detailed assessment of climate change-related data availability and use practices, identify data sources and actors, and ultimately develop a plan for improving the collection, governance, management, and use of climate data in that country. As part of the assessment process, PARIS21 will produce a General Climate Data Template that can be a starting point for creating a national inventory of global, regional, and local climate data requirements and needs in Senegal. PARIS21 will also complete a template on Open Climate Data to assess climate change data availability, openness, and use in several countries, drawing on ODW’s Open Data Inventory as a context for examining those issues in Senegal. Ultimately, this pilot in Senegal will create a scalable collaboration model to help other countries also leverage climate change data to advance effective and inclusive climate change adaptation policies while supporting international efforts around climate change mitigation. This grant will supplement the main grant supporting this work, by providing resources for French-English translation services for the key deliverables, and workshops.

for PARIS21’s Climate Change Data Ecosystems program
Over the past two years, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (OEDC/PARIS21) have been working to foster national-level climate change data ecosystems to help improve climate change data practices in countries across the Global South, including data governance, and use. Pilot work in Senegal included detailed assessments of climate change-related data availability and use practices, identification of data sources and actors, and developing a plan with the government for improving the collection, governance, management, and use of climate data in Senegal. Together, this effort has led to the creation of a scalable toolbox that includes a Mobilising Climate Change Data Ecosystems Framework, a General Climate Data template to help create a national inventory of climate data, as well as an open climate data assessment tool. This grant renews support for the effort, which will lead to a second phase that scales up the climate change data toolbox and approach in more African countries. The focus will be on those countries developing National Strategies for the Development of Statistics in 2024 and 2025, and where the demand for climate change data has increased, but the capacities for production of climate change information remain constrained.

for PARIS21’s Toward Inclusive Climate Change Data Ecosystems project
In close consultation and coordination with the Center for Open Data Enterprise and Open Data Watch (ODW), the OECD/PARIS21 will help develop an ecosystem in a selected pilot country for climate change data to help improve its climate change data practices, governance, and use. Work in the pilot country will include a detailed assessment of climate change-related data availability and use practices, identify data sources and actors, and ultimately develop a plan for improving the collection, governance, management, and use of climate data in that country. As part of the assessment process, the OECD/PARIS21 will produce a General Climate Data Template that can be a starting point for creating a national inventory of global, regional, and local climate data requirements and needs in the pilot country. The OECD/PARIS21 will also complete a template on Open Climate Data to assess climate change data availability, openness, and use in several countries, drawing on ODW’s Open Data Inventory, as a context for examining those issues in the pilot country. Ultimately, the pilot will create a scalable collaboration model to help other countries also leverage climate change data to advance effective and inclusive climate change adaptation policies while supporting international efforts around climate change mitigation.
