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
Global-to-Community Evidence Architecture
Climate Evidence Explorer
From planetary trends to local action, the FWI Climate Evidence Explorer connects globally selectable administrative geography with live Earth-observation searches, thematic evidence and field-verification pathways.
Universal Administrative Explorer
Select any available country, region and local administrative area
Live API connection
Begin with a country or territory, then select a state, province or region and a district, county or municipality where available. The chosen boundary is highlighted and used as the exact Planetary Computer search geometry. Large countries must be narrowed to a smaller administrative area before high-resolution evidence is loaded. Water Stress and Drought currently provides NDMI and NDVI pilot indicators; the remaining themes retain transparent evidence-status labels.
Thematic Discovery
Eight evidence pathways for visitors and researchers
The map selector provides the fastest thematic search entry point, while the dedicated Evidence Themes page explains the correct datasets, limitations and validation pathway for each question.
Temperature & Emissions
Observed warming, greenhouse-gas trends and emissions trajectories.
Forests & Land Cover
Forest condition, land-cover change, recovery and restoration context.
Water & Drought
Water stress, scarcity, drought and watershed pressure.
Wildfires & Burned Areas
Fire occurrence, burned-area evidence and recovery.
Biodiversity & Ecosystems
Habitat, vegetation, fragmentation and ecosystem condition.
Glaciers, Snow & Mountains
Cryosphere, mountain systems and upstream-downstream connections.
Hazards & Vulnerability
Exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity and resilience.
Commitments & Implementation
International commitments, NDCs, finance and delivery.
Four Intelligence Levels
A scalable global framework
The architecture is organized by analytical level rather than by one country. Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Bajaur remain flagship implementation pathways, while the live map now supports worldwide country and subnational boundary discovery.
National Climate Intelligence
Country-level evidence aligned with national geography, climate priorities, institutions, policies and reporting needs.
- Worldwide country selector
- Pakistan as the first flagship hub
- Expandable national evidence profiles
Subnational Climate Intelligence
Province, state, region, district, watershed and landscape analysis for locally relevant planning.
- On-demand ADM1 and ADM2 boundaries
- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa flagship hub
- Context-sensitive administrative terminology
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

Data and Method
Evidence and boundaries must remain transparent
Administrative Geography
The viewer loads geoBoundaries gbOpen country, ADM1 and ADM2 geometries on demand and records source, represented year and licence information.
Earth Observation
The selected polygon is sent through the Microsoft Planetary Computer STAC search and Data API or item TileJSON services.
Evidence Validation
Rainfall, climatic water balance, hydrology, official records and field evidence must complement satellite indicators before public conclusions are confirmed.
Boundary Neutrality
Displayed administrative boundaries support geographic analysis and do not express an FWI position on sovereignty, legal status or disputed territories.
Operational status: worldwide country and subnational boundary discovery, polygon-based searches, NDMI and NDVI visualization, dynamic legends, evidence summaries and optional point sampling are included for deployed-browser validation. The current implementation uses geoBoundaries ISO alpha-3 catalog entries for direct compatibility with its boundary API; UN M49 harmonization remains a formal data-governance enhancement. Each analytical product must retain its producer, licence, date, resolution, processing method and limitations.
