Climate Data for long lasting climate solution
The School of Climate Action launched at COP27 is a community of individuals called (climate soldiers) who collect data across the world in other to determine the most affected people by climate change and most affected areas. The soldiers implement a climate data policy by asking persons in their communities or on social media the impact of climate change / weather change around them using provided toolkit. Data collected is analysed by a team of professionals and used to inform policy and most importantly ensure that climate finance goes to the most affected people in most affected areas.
