Methodology

Harvard Dataverse is an open source generalist data repository where we are amassing a collection of commonly-used climate and health data and linkages, including spatial data. Following FAIR principles, we strongly encourage the community of practice to help expand the Climate-Health CAFE Dataverse collection by contributing data for sharing and reuse.
