Environmental Data

Environmental Data & Governance Initiative (EDGI)
A research collaborative and network of diverse professionals promoting evidence-based policy-making and public interest science that advances the Environmental Right to Know (ERTK).
Federal Environmental Web Tracker
EDGI’s website monitoring team is monitoring thousands of federal government webpages to track changes under the Trump administration. The Federal Environmental Web Tracker makes these changes publicly available and searchable.
Public Environmental Data Project

Climate & Economic Justice Screening Tool
The tool has an interactive map and uses datasets that are indicators of burdens communities experience in eight categories: climate change, energy, health, housing, legacy pollution, transportation, water and wastewater, and workforce development. This tool has been downloaded and rehosted in advance of the Trump administration's takedown of this invaluable website and data resource.

NIH NIEHS Climate Change and Human Health Literature Portal (CCHHL) data dump
Here is gathered bibliographic information about 22,695 research items (journal articles etc.) as compiled by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS; part of the US federal government's National Institutes of Health) for its Climate Change and Human Health Literature Portal (CCHHL).
FEMA Files
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) archived data in DataLumos
Climate Program Portal
Tracks climate investments from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Includes many of the latest publicly available datasets in the climate space, including emissions data, disadvantaged community designations, public investments, and climatic event information. Focused on preserving federal agency resources that would be removed with the new administration, archiving fact sheets, program guidance, toolkits, and more.
