CTS supports climate solution data accessibility

CTS is a search federation service with a data collaboration member network. CTS does not directly host databases. Its main purpose is to help users find the climate solution data they need from the connected member sites. It then redirects the users to the member websites, from which details can be viewed and local community/industry support can be found.

Such search federation & data collaboration network has successfully solved the findability problem, bringing accessibility in other areas:

• Global LCA Data access network
• Ocean Info Hub
• Global Biodiversity Information Facility

Collaboration

Building and operating a global search federation service for a small vertical sector like climate solutions is an inherently capital-intensive endeavor with no commercial viability but public good value. Tencent is pro-bonoly supporting the setting up and operation of the search federation service under the company agnostic brand ‘TanLIVE’. Each member site joining the data collaboration network bear its own cost during the connection to the CTS federation service.
