Washington, DC – April 07, 2022: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) today further updated the Climate Change Indicators Dashboard —an international statistical initiative to address the growing need for data in macroeconomic and financial policy analysis related to climate change. At this time, major updates include introducing new indicators as well as updating data for the existing indicators as follows:
These updates and other details are included in the first edition of a newsletter, the IMF Climate Change Indicators Dashboard Quarterly Release , also released today. The newsletter is available via the Dashboard.
The Dashboard was launched exactly one year ago , in conjunction with an IMF Seminar on A Critical Year for Climate Action where IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry discussed how to turn climate ambitions into action while creating vibrant and inclusive opportunities as part of the transition to the new climate economy.
Since then, the Dashboard has continued to adapt to developing methodologies, available data sources, and new data needs. The Dashboard will also help support the climate change related recommendations included in the G20 new Data Gaps Initiative when implemented. Updates and revisions will be communicated via the quarterly newsletter as well as on the Dashboard as described in the Data Updates and Revisions Policy .
