### Abstract
The climate crisis is a global issue. To gain a full understanding of the issue and to design effective solutions and interventions, it is essential to have data and software that can process, analyse and visualise the data. It is also crucial that researchers, technologists, policymakers, and everyone interested in helping tackle the climate crisis have access to and can use and collaborate around the data and software. What are the challenges and opportunities in working with climate data? How can open data and software help facilitate collaboration across research, industry and governments in our fight against the climate crisis?
