Global-to-Community Evidence Architecture

Climate Evidence Explorer

From planetary trends to local action, the FWI Climate Evidence Explorer connects live Earth-observation searches with national, subnational and community evidence pathways.

Live Earth Observation

Planetary Computer Map Interface

Live API connection

Search Sentinel-2 or Landsat imagery for the current map view. The interface attempts a multi-scene mosaic and automatically falls back to the best available individual scene when necessary. Begin with the Bajaur pilot extent, or select another geography and zoom to a focused area.

Four Intelligence Levels

A scalable global framework

The architecture is organized by analytical level rather than by one country. Pakistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are the first flagship implementation areas, demonstrating how global evidence can be translated into national, provincial, district, watershed and community-level intelligence.

Level 01

Global Climate Intelligence

Planetary and transboundary evidence on climate, forests, water, land, fire, snow, ecosystems and hazards.

  • Global climate and ecosystem trends
  • Cross-border and transboundary systems
  • Comparable Earth-observation indicators
Open Global Intelligence
Level 02

National Climate Intelligence

Country-level evidence aligned with national geography, climate priorities, institutions, policies and reporting needs.

  • Country profiles and national indicators
  • Pakistan as the first flagship hub
  • Expandable to additional countries
Open National Intelligence
Level 03

Subnational Climate Intelligence

Province, state, region, district, watershed and landscape analysis for locally relevant planning.

  • Khyber Pakhtunkhwa flagship hub
  • District and watershed pathways
  • Future comparative regional hubs
Open Subnational Intelligence
Level 04

Community Climate Action

Locally verified institutions, interventions, field evidence and learning from climate action on the ground.

  • VDCs and community institutions
  • ANR, plantations and watershed restoration
  • Local monitoring, participation and learning
Open Community Action

Data and Method

Evidence must remain transparent and human-accountable

Earth Observation

The live viewer searches the Microsoft Planetary Computer STAC catalog and uses its Data API or item TileJSON services to display satellite imagery.

Official Evidence

National and international institutional datasets will complement satellite imagery where they provide authoritative statistics, policy context or validated indicators.

Field Verification

Satellite signals must be interpreted with departmental records, project boundaries, community information and field observations wherever available.

Publication Governance

Public findings will follow FWI evidence, citation, validation and human-review requirements before being presented as confirmed analysis.

Operational status: the first live map interface is active for focused Sentinel-2 and Landsat searches. This release provides visualization and metadata, not automated proof of forest change, restoration success or hazard conditions. Each future analytical indicator must retain its original producer, licence, date, resolution, processing method and limitations. Review the Planetary Computer platform.
