This guideline is part of the Information and Knowledge Management for Climate Change (IKM4CC) Guidelines. The purpose of the Guidelines is to help government departments, and other agencies and organisations that deal with issues related to climate change in the Pacific region, to implement good practices for managing information. They have been developed in consultation with representatives from government departments, NGOs and regional organisations based in the Pacific.
This guideline focuses on different ways in which organisations can source and share climate-change related information. It discusses and provides sample templates for data stocktakes, asset registers and data sharing agreements. It also highlights some of the issues that need to be addressed when making information available to the public.
The Guidelines were produced by the Griffith University Pacific iCLIM Project. Griffith University was funded by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade initiative Government Partnerships for Development Program to support SPREP in implementing a regional approach to climate change data and information management throughout the Pacific.
