Better Insights into Collective Climate Actions: The currently fragmented, insufficient and incompatible sources building the climate data framework remain a critical threat to a successful outcome of the 2023 Global Stocktake for the Paris Agreement. While we observe an increasing amount of participation, effective ways of connecting, visualizing and analysing actors patterns & impact, within the overall climate initiatives, remain limited.
Innovation Summary
Innovation Overview
ActInsight contributes to the collective efforts to integrate, analyse and visualize data across actors, at all levels, businesses and civil societies, and to understand their contribution and impact within the various climate initiatives.
The added-value of the initiative is better insights into collective climate actions and the interactive & visual approach to understand trends & patterns between actors. The platform is open and accessible to everyone. All code & data are open source, to encourage further collaboration & impact. Live data-sharing API, opening the platform's data layer for better collaboration, while leveraging climate data interoperability by following the OpenClimate Schema, designed & maintained by the OpenEarth Foundation team.
The key features of the innovation are:
- Live search & insights
- Interactive visualization, mapping and aggregation of various data dimensions & relevant relationships
- Dynamic mapping of underlying information, adjusting graph complexity for a better user experience - aiming to better highlight actor interactions, collaboration, targets & commitments across initiatives and geographies

Results, Outcomes & Impacts
ActInsight contributes to the collective efforts to integrate, analyze and visualize data across actors, at all levels, businesses and civil societies, and to understand their contribution and impact within the various climate initiatives.
The Global Stocktake for the Paris Agreement will take place next year, and every effort must be made to make sure that, together, we deliver on the commitments made.
We built ActInsight as part of the collective response to make sense of our global progress towards these commitments.
Challenges and Failures
Gathering, understanding and making sense of various sources of data related to climate actions
Conditions for Success
We would love to partner with organizations, institutions and help them implement this open data platform
Replication
Not at this time, it has not been replicated.
Lessons Learned
