BetaBetaDataset
To provide data on environmental conditions (elevations, climate, coastal) in which people reside.
The National Aggregates of Geospatial Data Collection: Population, Landscape, And Climate Estimates, Version 2 (PLACE II) data set contains estimates of national-level aggregations of territorial extent and population size by biome, climate zone, coastal proximity zone, elevation zone, and population density zone, a compendium of nearly 300 variables for 228 countries.
This dataset entails population density, land zone, coastal proximity, climate, elevation, biomes and other variables.
The developers start with spatial (grid-cell) data sources (e.g., global population grids, land cover/biome maps, elevation, climate zones), then aggregate from the grid level to the national level by summing or averaging across biophysical zones
