In a world where opinions are polarized and false facts spread quickly, there’s increasing demand for trusted and timely data. That’s why WRI and over 30 partners built Resource Watch, a dynamic platform that leverages technology, data, and human networks to bring unprecedented transparency about our planet.
Hundreds of data sets are all in one place. Users can visualize challenges facing people and the planet, from climate change to poverty, water risk to state instability, air pollution to human migration, and more. Open access, open data, open source.
It’s all connected.
Dashboards in climate, nature, and society to understand the relationships between them.
Universal.
For government staff, business analysts, journalists, researchers, and citizens, this tool has a purpose for all.
Make it yours.
Create, share, and embed interactive maps, or customize charts and graphs. A powerful tool for discovery and data-driven storytelling.
Resource Watch is made possible by the world’s rapid advances in open data and technology. Cloud computing and Big Data have allowed us to publish and access millions of datasets but that also presents a problem: how do we find the data we need? Resource Watch brings together hundreds of data sets in one place and makes it easier for researchers, analysts, journalists, policymakers, and citizens to find, understand and share the information they need. It has been accessed in hundreds of countries and by thousands of people around the world.
