- The COFI database includes power-generation projects in Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries financed by Chinese corporations and banks that reached financial closure from 2000 to 2020. Types of financing include debt and equity investment, with the latter including greenfield foreign direct investments (FDI) and cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As). COFI is consolidated using nine source databases using both automated join method in R Studio, and manual joining by analysts. The database includes power plant characteristics data and investment detail data. It captures 430 power plants in 76 BRI countries, including 220 equity investment transactions and 253 debt investment transactions made by Chinese investors. Key data points for financial transactions in COFI include the financial instrument (equity or debt), investor name, amount, and financial close year. Key technical characteristics tracked for projects in COFI include name, installed capacity, commissioning year, country, and primary fuel type. This project is a collaboration among the Boston University Global Development Policy Center, the Inter-American Dialogue, the China-Africa Research Initiative at the Johns Hopkins University (CARI), and the World Resources Institute (WRI). The detailed methodology is given in the World Resources Institute publication “China Overseas Finance Inventory”.1Licence not specifiedalmost 2 years ago
- The Global Power Plant Database is a comprehensive, open source database of power plants around the world. It centralizes power plant data to make it easier to navigate, compare and draw insights for one’s own analysis. The database covers approximately 35,000 power plants from 167 countries and includes thermal plants (e.g. coal, gas, oil, nuclear, biomass, waste, geothermal) and renewables (e.g. hydro, wind, solar). Each power plant is geolocated and entries contain information on plant capacity, generation, ownership, and fuel type. It will be continuously updated as data becomes available. The methodology for the dataset creation is given in the World Resources Institute publication ["A Global Database of Power Plants"](http://www.wri.org/publication/global-power-plant-database). Data updates may occur without associated updates to this manuscript. The database can be visualized on [Resource Watch](http://goo.gl/XMyMLt) together with hundreds of other datasets. The database is available for immediate download and use through the [WRI Open Data Portal](http://datasets.wri.org/dataset/globalpowerplantdatabase). Associated code for the creation of the dataset can be found on [GitHub](https://github.com/wri/global-power-plant-database). The bleeding-edge version of the database (which may contain substantial differences from the release you are viewing) is available on GitHub as well.

- The West Virginia Geographic Information Systems Technical Center (WVGISTC) and West Virginia University (WVU) collaborated with the World Resources Institute (WRI) to compile digital GIS geometry and attribute data of major natural basins that are targets of gas and liquid hydrocarbon unconventional resources worldwide. Dataset consists of GIS data stored in vector, geodatabase format (ESRI, ArcGIS 10.1) and represents shale basins and plays in which unconventional production is occurring or has potential of occurring. Unconventional production is understood in this study to be a method for oil and gas exploitation in which horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing are employed to stimulate shale formations with relatively low permeability. The dataset consists of 228 basins and 339 plays. The maximum geographic extent of the dataset is at a scale of 1:100,000,000.1Licence not specifiedalmost 2 years ago
- Climate Watch is an online platform designed to empower policymakers, researchers, media and other stakeholders with the open climate data, visualizations and resources they need to gather insights on national and global progress on climate change. Climate Watch brings together dozens of datasets for the first time to let users analyze and compare the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, access historical emissions data, discover how countries can leverage their climate goals to achieve their sustainable development objectives, and use models to map new pathways to a lower carbon, prosperous future. This free platform enables users to create and share custom data visualizations and comparisons of national climate commitments. It contributes to the goals of the Paris Agreement by using open data to increase transparency and accountability, and provide actionable analysis on how countries can enhance their efforts to combat climate change. Climate Watch includes: - Data and visualizations on all countries’ greenhouse gas emissions; - A comprehensive, user-friendly database of all countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs); - Comprehensive mapping of linkages between Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and associated targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; - Data and visuals of emissions scenario pathways for major emitting countries, derived from a growing library of models; - National and sectoral profile pages that offer a snapshot of climate progress, risks and vulnerabilities; and The ability to download data and create, save and share customized data visualizations through My Climate Watch. Climate Watch is managed by World Resources Institute. It is a contribution to the NDC Partnership.1Licence not specifiedalmost 2 years ago
