The National Environmental Data Centre (NEDC) is a collaborative Crown Research Institute (CRI) initiative, integrating CRI data in a networked national environmental research data infrastructure.

The datasets – Global Eradication and Response Database (Gerda), hosted by Plant & Food Research, Our Future Climate New Zealand, hosted by NIWA, National Tsunami Hazard Model, hosted by GNS Science, and Biota of New Zealand, hosted by Manaaki Whenua – include a huge range of information, giving new insights in areas such as sustainable use of natural resources, land use decision making, environmental management and reporting, resilience to natural hazards, and conservation.
Nick Spencer, Informatics Team Leader at Manaaki Whenua, says: “This important collaboration paves the way for the CRIs to provide even greater value from the information we care for on behalf of New Zealand. Making data easier to find and access will support data-led decision-making and enable new research insights to help New Zealand adapt to environmental change.”
