The Challenges

1. Access to useful, timely, credible data
2. Confusing, fragmented landscape of platforms, tools, methods
3. Climate datasets are not user-friendly
4. Data disparity between Global North and South
5. Lack of feedback mechanisms between data providers and users
6. Need better cross-sectoral knowledge sharing on climate preparedness
Origins of PREP

PREP began as The President’s Climate Data Initiative: Empowering America’s Communities to Prepare for the Effects of Climate Change. As a U.S. climate data initiative, it would leverage vast, underutilized datasets.

PREP — both through the Partnership and
its PREPdata platform — helps visualize
and customize data, improves access to
datasets, and supports the climate
resilience ecosystem.

What is PREPdata?
PREPdata Feature – Data exploration
(www.prepdata.org)
• Search for climate-relevant data on
the Explorer or upload your own data.
• Query and combine with data from other
sources, and visualize them in the same
platform.
• See what data similar communities are using to
build resilience around the world.
• Request data
PREPdata Feature: Customizable Dashboards
PREPdata Features: Creating Graphs
Landslides Triggered by Tropical Cyclones
What makes PREPdata unique?

• PREPdata launch in January 2018
• Ongoing expansion of data coverage and content
• Application in two Indian states (Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh) to use PREPdata to support implementation of their State Action Plans on Climate Change.
• Planning application of PREPdata in Africa
• Exploring use of PREPdata to support adaptation planning in the private sector
• Additional pilot applications of PREPdata – with PREP support. Please share your ideas
PREPdata - Launching January 2018.
