Climate, Environment & Sustainable Cities

Personal explorations into climate change data, environmental trends, and sustainable urban development using open datasets and Python notebooks.

Why this repo?

  • Passionate about using data to understand and address global challenges like climate resilience, urban heat, green spaces, and low-carbon cities.

  • Builds on my data analysis skills (EDA, anomaly detection, visualization) from other projects.

  • Focus: Reproducible analysis with public datasets — no proprietary tools.

Current Notebooks / Content

Key Open Datasets Used / Planned

  • NASA / NOAA global temperature & CO₂ (GISS, NOAA NCEI)

  • World Bank Urban Indicators (population density, green space, emissions)

  • UN-Habitat City Prosperity Index / Urban Data

  • Copernicus / ESA satellite data for land use & urban expansion

  • Kaggle / Our World in Data collections on climate & sustainability

Setup (Colab/Local)

pip install -r requirements.txt

jupyter notebook

Or run notebooks directly in Google Colab (Open In Colab)

Dataset sources (download/upload to Colab or use direct links where possible):

Temperature: NASA GISS (https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/)

CO₂: NOAA (https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/data.html)

Urban/sustainable cities: World Bank (https://data.worldbank.org/topic/urban-development), UN-Habitat (https://data.unhabitat.org/), or Kaggle "Sustainable Urban Planning" dataset.

Skills Demonstrated

Python · Pandas · Matplotlib/Seaborn/Plotly · Geospatial basics (GeoPandas if added) · Data Visualization · Time-Series Analysis

Inspired by open-source sustainability projects like Open Sustainable Technology (https://opensustain.tech/) and World Bank urban datasets.
