The present compilation contains datasets from 7 institutions. These datasets can either be distributed unconditionally, free of charge or with source approval depending on data classification. There are also some datasets that are for in-house use only.Data request, complete the data request form with the required information, should be sent directly to the respective institutions. It is proposed that further inquiries on the data and any feedback be forwarded directly to the concerned institution. Acknowledging the orginator and supplier of the data that have been used in all output products and reports will be hightly appreciated.

Data acquisition is a continuing process. Hence, compiling datasets catalogue will also be a continuing activity and service of UNEP RRC.AP. This catalogue will be updated every six months to included new data acquisitions as well as new datasaets. Other institutions similarly engaged in archiving and maintaining digital datasets are encouraged to share their list for wider dissemination and use of their data.
