The purpose of this collection, put together by members of the Salata Strengthening Communities research cluster, is to store critical climate and law datasets accessible at various locations in one place. The datasets are downloaded and uploaded with minimal modification. The collection should be helpful to any researcher working on policy, compliance, and community issues related to the environment.
