Requirements of SDI on climate change
Climate change is the greatest social, economic, and environmental challenge of the present time. And the issue of climate change in current situation is major. With climate change over time adverse effects have been occurred like increasing melting rate of ice, glacier movements, sea level rising, shifting of vegetation, affection on coastal area, ozone layer depletion and decreasing rate of crop productivity etc. Since the issue of the climate change has no boundary it is global issue and is concerned with all over the world and so needs data from all over the world. So we have seen that some mechanism is essential so that these issues can be analyzed and interpreted for supporting planning and decision making process by taking data from different countries. And this might require compatible formats, standard mechanism and interoperable system between data existing on different places.
As mentioned above in brief some mechanism is required so this mechanism can be facilitated by Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) which has been defined as building block of institutional framework, policies, technologies and data requirements to enable spatial data to be used. Researchers working in the field of climate science argue that the issues of regional climate change are as complicated as global issues. And we are familiar with different types of SDI like Global, Regional, National, State and Local etc. Here the issue is the climate change which is global and is complicated in the sense that the data related
