Description:

The Climate Risk STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog) is a portal that holds a collection of geospatial data for global-scale risk assessments. They are sorted by risk element ('hazard' and 'exposure-vulnerability'). It is a metadata catalog where users can find metadata on each entry as well as a link to the original source. The database is intended to be a living one, where users can contribute new entries over time.

Although this database does not focus on multi-hazard or multi-risk, many of these datasets can be relevant in a multi-hazard or multi-risk assessment.
