The TNFD Nature Transition Plans tool provides guidance for integrating nature-related goals, actions, governance and disclosures into organisational transition planning. It supports alignment with the Global Biodiversity Framework and helps organisations assess, plan and communicate responses to nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.

IMF Climate Data Portal
International Monetary Fund climate data portal provides country-level indicators linking climate change with macroeconomic and financial analysis, including emissions, climate risks, adaptation, mitigation, and climate finance. Data are standardised, downloadable, and designed to support policy, research, and comparative economic assessment.

Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) Near Real-Time Observational Data (Level 1) provides rapidly delivered atmospheric and ecosystem measurements, typically within 24 hours. Data undergo automated quality control only and are released as growing time series. Suitable for monitoring and exploratory analysis, not final scientific assessment.

Minamata Convention Data Platorm is an open-source, cloud-based geospatial platform for managing, analysing and visualising spatial data on natural resources and the environment. It supports dashboards, maps and story maps to aggregate and share authoritative data for decision-making and impact monitoring.

The World Bank’s Climate Knowledge Portal – CMIP5 section provides access to historical and future climate projections based on the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5. It supports analysis of temperature, precipitation and climate risks for countries/regions using multi-model ensemble data to inform climate risk assessment and adaptation planning.

NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) provides global near-real-time satellite data on active fires and thermal anomalies, viewable via interactive maps, alerts and downloadable files. It uses MODIS and VIIRS instruments to detect fire locations and deliver data within hours for monitoring, analysis and decision-making.

Minerals4EU is an EU-supported initiative that created a harmonised minerals intelligence network and web portal, offering standardised European mineral resource data, a Minerals Yearbook and analytical studies. It supports policy decisions and raw materials supply security through shared georesource information across European geological surveys.

Electricity Maps is a commercial data platform providing global electricity grid information including electricity mix, carbon intensity, prices and load in real time, historically and forecasted. It serves businesses and developers with APIs and interactive maps to support sustainability insights, carbon accounting and energy analysis worldwide.

This paper argues that Europe’s green transition depends on aligning digital transformation with sustainability goals. It outlines how digital research can both reduce its own environmental footprint and enable climate action, calling for long-term, interdisciplinary research investment and coordinated EU policy.

The Climate Risk Index is an annual benchmark series that compares countries’ exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather events using a consistent, historical, data-driven framework. Across all editions, it supports comparative assessment of physical climate risk over time and informs policy, risk analysis, and climate-aware financial decision-making.

This report outlines practical tools to help mining and metals companies integrate circular economy principles. It explains business drivers, regulatory context, metrics, and case studies, supporting financial and non-financial business cases for improved resource efficiency, value retention, and responsible production.

This report argues that embedding circular economy principles within the Sustainable Development Goals could revive stalled progress. It outlines five global policy priorities and proposes a 2050 blueprint linking circularity, inclusive growth, trade, finance and standards to post-2030 development agendas.
