A structured dataset of urban climate actions in European cities

Urban climate planning requires structured datasets to support predictive modeling. This article presents a dataset based mainly on 454 climate action reports published by 443 European cities, available on the Covenant of Mayors platform. It includes 24 features classified into geodemographic, action-related, and spatial distribution categories. In addition, data were sourced from municipal reports, public databases (e.g., ODP, Weather Spark), and geospatial APIs. The structured dataset covers a wide geographic distribution in Europe and reflects the scope of adaptation-oriented climate action plans. It is built upon the analysis and evaluation of actions already implemented by cities, enabling consistent classification of adaptation strategies and supports climate actions modeling with improved accuracy, offering an interesting tool for data-driven climate action planning.

Abstract

Urban climate planning requires structured datasets to support predictive modeling. This article presents a dataset based mainly on 454 climate action reports published by 443 European cities, available on the Covenant of Mayors platform. It includes 24 features classified into geodemographic, action-related, and spatial distribution categories. In addition, data were sourced from municipal reports, public databases (e.g., ODP, Weather Spark), and geospatial APIs. The structured dataset covers a wide geographic distribution in Europe and reflects the scope of adaptation-oriented climate action plans. It is built upon the analysis and evaluation of actions already implemented by cities, enabling consistent classification of adaptation strategies and supports climate actions modeling with improved accuracy, offering an interesting tool for data-driven climate action planning.
