Abstract
Public data help researchers and civic organizations develop solutions and advance accountability around environmental challenges but are vulnerable to political threats. While the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative archives data to ensure their availability, we also situate data within their political and economic contexts to support good scientific practice and democratic knowledge production for environmental justice.
