Earth System Governance Data Directory

Researchers in the environmental governance field have developed a wide range of valuable datasets and databases—but these resources are often difficult to find or not widely known. This page is designed to address that gap.

The Earth System Governance Data Directory provides a shared space to list both existing and upcoming environmental governance-related datasets and databases, with links to where more information or downloads are available. It serves as an open resource for the community, supporting transparency, collaboration, and more efficient research—especially for early-career scholars.

The goal is simple: to make existing data more visible and accessible to those who can build on it.

If you would like to suggest a relevant dataset or database, please fill out this form. Contributions are welcome from everyone—whether or not you are part of the ESG network.

The directory will be published when we have gathered a sufficient number of entries.
