United Nations Overview

   The United Nations (UN) has been a cornerstone of international cooperation since its inception in 1945. Over the years, the UN's scope and impact have expanded significantly, addressing global challenges ranging from peacekeeping to sustainable development. Related to The GLOBE Program, various UN entities collaborate to advance environmental education and scientific research worldwide. The UN’s collaboration with The GLOBE Program ensures that data collected and analyzed through GLOBE's protocols contribute to broader international efforts to monitor and address environmental issues. Each participating UN entity brings unique expertise and resources, enriching The GLOBE Program’s capabilities and reach.

As a testament to this collaborative spirit, the UN's contributions are integrated into The GLOBE Program's databases, which are publicly accessible to everyone. This open access ensures transparency and allows for widespread utilization of data for research, education, and policy-making.

To maximize the benefits of this data, it is essential to understand how to enter and access GLOBE data effectively. You can learn about GLOBE protocols through the Data User Guide and use the Data Access, Analysis & Reporting Tutorials to enhance your data analysis skills.

GLOBE offers user-friendly tools for data retrieval and visualization, enabling the creation of data maps, graphs, and tables directly on the GLOBE website. Researchers who prefer to use their own analysis tools can also download GLOBE data directly.

Note: For access to larger GLOBE data sets beyond the website's capabilities, please contact the GLOBE Implementation Office.
