The main aim of the Data For Climate Action Edinburgh (D4CAE) group is to help other climate volunteers around Edinburgh, using our data skills.

We have a GitHub repository that we use to make a large proportion of our data, our code and so on publicly available, under an open licence.

If you could use some help with your climate or biodiversity data, please get in touch - data4climateactionedinburgh@gmail.com !
