The data processing scripts for the Global Climatescope

This script processes the data for the Global Climatescope and prepares it for use on the website. It works as a make file and will rebuild the full dataset on every run.

Usage

A quick overview of the process:

1. Provide source data
   The source data is stored in the source folder.
2. Run script
   python cs-core.py
3. Move output to Jekyll site structure

Source data

Core CS data

The script expects the core Climatescope data to be provided in .xlsx format and stored in source/cs-core. The data for each edition should be in separate files that are named after its year. For example: source/cs-core/2013.xlsx and source/cs-core/2014.xlsx.

These files should contain the following sheets:

• score
• param
• ind

Each of these files, should have the following columns:

column	description
id	Contains the id of the score, param or indicator
iso	The ISO 3166 code of the country, state or province
score	The score

Any extra columns or sheets will be ignored by the script.

Notes:

• the header of the different sheets should not have filters enabled
• the structure of the files was proposed by BNEF for the first edition of the Global Climatescope
