Open Climate Data - Creative Commons

"Climate data that is open, accessible, and easy to use is critical for those that want to find it, read it and build on it in order to address climate change. Our goal is to provide comprehensive and transparent guidance in response to the question “What am I allowed to do with this climate data?” for scientists, researchers, policymakers, educators, civil society organizations, advocates, journalists and others working to understand and address climate change.

We’ve surveyed the open climate data landscape to better understand the permissible uses of existing large climate datasets. Alongside climate data publishers from governments, institutions, and organizations around the world, we are also collectively promoting best practices for sharing climate data.

This work is in addition to our Open Climate Campaign (with our partners SPARC and EIFL) which is focussed on opening up research and research data on climate change...."
