Global Development Potential Indices

The Global Development Potential Indices (DPIs) data set contains thirteen sector-level DPIs for sectors related to renewable energy (concentrated solar power, photovoltaic solar, wind, hydropower), fossil fuels (coal, conventional and unconventional oil and gas), mining (metallic, non-metallic), and agriculture (crop, biofuels expansion). The DPI for each sector represents land suitability that accounts for both resource potential and development feasibility. Each DPI is a 1-km spatially-explicit, global land suitability map that has been validated using locations of current and planned development, and examined for uncertainty and sensitivity. The DPIs can be used to identify lands with current favorable economic and physical conditions for individual sector expansion and assist in planning for sector and cumulative development across the globe.

全球发展潜力指数（DPIs）数据集收录了与可再生能源（聚焦式太阳能、光伏太阳能、风能、水能）、化石燃料（煤炭、传统及非常规油气）、矿业（金属、非金属）以及农业（作物、生物燃料扩张）相关的十三项行业级DPIs。每个行业的DPI代表考虑了资源潜力和开发可行性后的土地适宜性。每个DPI均为1公里空间分辨率的全球土地适宜性地图，地图通过当前及规划中的开发地点进行验证，并对不确定性及敏感性进行了分析。DPIs可用于识别当前各行业扩张具有有利经济和物理条件的土地，并有助于全球范围内各行业及累积发展的规划。
