Qlik and UNFCCC Forge Expanded Partnership to Enhance Data-Driven Climate Action
In a significant step towards advancing global climate initiatives, Qlik has announced an expanded partnership with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This collaboration is set to enhance the UNFCCC’s capacity to accelerate climate change negotiations by leveraging Qlik’s advanced data integration, analytics, and AI solutions. The partnership aims to empower countries with robust data tools to drive more ambitious climate policies and strategies.
The core of this collaboration revolves around Qlik’s technology, which will manage and reconcile vast amounts of global data, often varying in quality and context across borders. By improving the UNFCCC’s data analysis methods, the partnership seeks to enable more meaningful and actionable climate policies. Furthermore, this initiative paves the way for future exploration of AI and unstructured data to deepen understanding of the climate crisis.
Key Initiatives of the Partnership:
1. Data Integration: Qlik’s applications will be integrated with the UNFCCC’s data systems, providing a unified platform for data access and analysis. This unified system will help standardize diverse data sources, facilitating cohesive and comprehensive climate policies.
2. Public Dashboards: Interactive dashboards will be developed to present transparent and accurate climate data to the public. These dashboards aim to enhance public understanding and engagement in climate action by providing easy access to critical data.
3. Capacity Building: Courses will be provided to UNFCCC staff to enhance their data literacy and proficiency with Qlik products. This initiative aims to empower UNFCCC personnel to maximize the benefits of advanced data tools in their daily operations.
4. AI Integration: Continuous AI and capacity analysis will be incorporated into the UNFCCC’s analytical applications. This integration aims to provide faster response times and more precise decision-making by leveraging AI’s potential in analyzing diverse data types, including unstructured data.
“Partnering with Qlik allows us to take significant strides in our climate action efforts by leveraging advanced data integration and AI capabilities”, said Joaquim Barris, Data Scientist at UNFCCC. “This collaboration will enable us to implement more immediate, data-informed actions and better understand our diplomacy, political, and climate data. We are particularly excited about exploring AI’s potential in analyzing data of all types, including unstructured data. Qlik’s focus on data and analytics foundations makes them an ideal partner for tapping into AI’s potential”.
Julie Kae, VP of Sustainability and DEIB and Executive Director of Qlik.org, echoed this enthusiasm, noting, “We are honored to support the UNFCCC’s mission to combat climate change. By integrating our data and AI solutions, we aim to provide the UNFCCC with the tools needed to assist countries in implementing effective and timely climate policies. Our focus on data integrity and tangible outcomes aligns perfectly with the UNFCCC’s goals, and we look forward to a successful collaboration that drives meaningful climate action”.
Looking ahead, the Qlik-UNFCCC partnership aims to continually evolve, incorporating advanced AI, analytics, and data technologies to address emerging climate challenges. Future projects will explore innovative uses of unstructured data and further enhance timely climate analytics. This collaboration is expected to drive significant advancements in global climate policy and action, reinforcing the importance of data-driven decision-making.
This expanded partnership marks a significant milestone in the global effort to combat climate change, underlining the critical role of data and AI in shaping effective and responsive climate strategies.
