Data Forum: Building Commons for Climate Infrastructure and Global Governance

The Data Forum aims to maintain the Commons, shape the climate, and provide infrastructure for convening multiple user perspectives. Specialists meet to address problem-focused issues and analyze indicators for policy leverage. The forum facilitates data production and use, ensuring high-quality sets in various settings. It advocates for more resources and training opportunities to enhance data infrastructure. It focuses on certifying indicators, consulting, and legitimizing datasets. The forum provides sanctuary for coding challenges and safeguards data integrity against political manipulation.

  1. What works for APSA • Maintain the Commons • Shape Climate • Provide infrastructure • Convene • Voice

  2. Common Meeting Space • Group Focussed • Multiple user perspectives: scholar; donor; advocate; etc. • Specialists meeting each other • Problem Focussed • Indicators as analytically descriptive v. policy/advocacy levers • Dogs that don’t bark • Meta-analysis • Everything else

  3. Data Forum • Facilitate Production and Use of High Quality Data • Processes for replication • Legitimacy of data sets in highly charged settings • Archive of data sets • Omnibus Global Governance Dataset

  4. Quality Infrastructure • Caliber of data • General elements of what everyone agrees a dataset should have • Users Guides for production of measures and indicators • Warning labels on indicators: Subnational variation may be large • Training • International work re: experts in each country • Advocacy for Data • More resources for data – US • Heighten data infrastructure in importance in development

  5. Certification of Indicators • Accreditation • Consultancy • Review teams/Clearinghouse of experts • Legitimacy • Can APSA contribute to this? • Research Monographs/Journals

  6. Indicator Space • Frame “indicator space” itself • What’s being measured/what’s not • What capacities to do more • Build new entries into Indicator Space • Organized Sections

  7. Sanctuary • Safe House/Witness Protection • Place to go if coding is driving you to drink, and sending you undercover • Voice for protecting integrity of data against political threats and manipulation
