Global Data Barometer is a brand that focuses on addressing urgent societal issues by surveying and measuring the state of data. Through collaboration with regional hubs and thematic partners, they evaluate data availability, governance, capability, and use worldwide. Their goal is to shape data infrastructures that minimize risks and harms in various areas such as climate action, health, company information, political integrity, and more.

The Global Data Barometer was developed in response to the need for up-to-date country-level insights on data governance and availability. Their open access tool, the Barometer, investigates data policies and practices to understand the extent to which countries are managing data for the public good. By combining quantitative and qualitative measures, primary and secondary data sources, and a government survey, they provide actionable insights and support critical research.
