The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has concluded its spring meetings with the launch of a new interactive dashboard that aims to address the growing need for climate change data in macroeconomic and financial policy analysis.
Although the indicators are considered experimental, the data identifies several main categories: economic activity; cross-border; financial, physical and transition risks; and government.
“To develop the right measures to tackle climate change, governments need robust and comparable data. The new IMF dashboard will help fill data gaps, so policymakers can undertake the macroeconomic and financial analysis that underpins effective policies,” IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva said.
