Global Energy & Climate Index

Real-time aggregation of 5 international energy and climate APIs with composite energy transition and climate risk scoring (0-100).

Purpose

This Actor analyzes the energy transition progress and climate risk of any country by combining data from:

• NOAA - Climate and temperature anomaly data (Public Domain)
• World Bank - Energy consumption, renewable share, CO2 emissions, forest cover (CC-BY 4.0)
• Our World in Data - Renewable energy and emissions trends (CC-BY 4.0)
• US Geological Survey - Energy resources and geophysical data (Public Domain)
• The GDELT Project - Climate news sentiment analysis (CC-BY 4.0)

Produces two composite indices:

1. Energy Transition Score (0-100)

   • Renewable energy share (40% weight)
   • Per capita CO2 emissions reduction (30% weight)
   • Forest coverage (15% weight)
   • Energy efficiency per capita (15% weight)

2. Climate Risk Score (0-100)

   • Per capita CO2 emissions (40% weight)
   • Climate news sentiment tone (30% weight)
   • Forest loss indicator (30% weight)

Input

Required

• countryCode (string) — Two-letter ISO country code (e.g., US, DE, KR)
