Establishing environmental data base

Description

Establishing an environmental database involves systematically collecting, organizing, and maintaining reliable data on environmental conditions, resources, and impacts. This strategy enables informed decision-making, effective monitoring, and targeted interventions by providing accessible, up-to-date information to policymakers, researchers, and the public. By remedying data gaps and inconsistencies, it supports the identification of trends, assessment of risks, and evaluation of environmental policies, thereby enhancing the capacity to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable management.

Claim

1. Many datasets, including those on air pollution and water quality, are incomplete; others are non-existent, especially in developing countries. In addition there is a lack of reliable socio-economic data that can be related to the environment.
