To support sustainability systems confidently navigate the expanding world of spatial datasets, ISEAL partnered with Spatial Informatics Group to develop a framework of assessment criteria for spatial datasets. The framework aims to support sustainability systems to identify datasets that are fit-for-purpose across diverse use cases. This includes supporting compliance with regulations like the EUDR and aligning with REDD+ initiatives, to climate risk assessment, and demonstrating social impacts. The criteria are structured around five core dimensions, value options and special considerations tailored to sustainability systems. The criteria are designed to help compare datasets and integrate them into sustainability systems' analysis workflows.
