Changes in climate trends and velocities, forest loss and population density between 2001-2018 in India's districts

How to cite this Dataset

Description

This dataset provides information on the average climate change and forest loss over time for 577 districts in India between 2001-2018. The dataset has numerous climate variables that provide information on how temporal trends and velocities of temperature and precipitation have changed over time. This climate data was created based on raw data from the Climate Research Unit (https://crudata.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg/). The trends are shown for both annual and seasonal data. Further to this, there is data on the amount of forest loss between 2001-2018 derived from the Hansen Global Forest Change Dataset (https://storage.googleapis.com/earthenginepartners-hansen/GFC-2020-v1.8/download.html). Thirdly, there is data on the change in population density over time derived from SEDAC CIESIN data (https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/collection/gpw-v4). This full dataset can be used to compare changes in climate and population density in India's districts with forest loss.
