The United Nations has launched UN System Data Commons, a platform that centralizes millions of public data points from 26 entities within the UN system.[^1]

EcoPortal.net reported the launch on Sept 19. The platform puts the UN's public data behind a single catalog in place of 26 separate agency publications.

What the commons is worth will turn on how much of those 26 entities' data actually lands in it, and how fresh the numbers are when they do.
