Abstract

Because a complete reversal of climate change no longer seems viable, growing efforts need to be spent on increasing the resilience of built infrastructure to environmental upheavals. Digital technologies play a key part in enabling climate resilience by enabling the prediction of weather patterns and their impacts on structures via data, algorithms, and digital platforms. This requires data transparency that allows high-quality climate data to be available to multiple stakeholders. Currently, climate data remains far from democratised, severely limiting societies' climate resilience. In this research-in-progress paper, we explore how limitations in data transparency and failures of data democratization affect the global efforts against climate change. We examine three countries as case studies, demonstrating the importance of a uniform and scalable approach to climate data transparency. The potential contributions of this research include potential frameworks and solutions for understanding where limits of data transparency lie and how they may be overcome.
