Climate

Use indicators and data endpoints to work with emissions, air quality, forests, protected areas, renewable electricity, and water stress.

Climate In Africa API

Climate and environment data is exposed through the shared indicator and data endpoints.

Current climate coverage comes from the World Bank WDI slice.
