WiserEarth’s Open Data
![]() |
WiserEarth has always championed transparency and openness. Since 2009, much of our content has been available through an API for repurposing on other sites. Now we have joined the “Slash Open” standard – putting our Open Data policy and accessibility on www.WiserEarth.org/open.

So what does that mean exactly? Well we are sharing what data sets are available, how they can be accessed, and what support is provided if you have questions or suggestions:
