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）数据集包含与可再生能源（集中式太阳能发电、光伏太阳能、风能、水能）相关、化石燃料（煤炭、常规和非常规石油及天然气）、采矿（金属、非金属）以及农业（作物、生物燃料扩展）相关的十三个部门级DPIs。每个部门的DPI代表考虑了资源潜力和开发可行性的土地适宜性。每个DPI是一张1公里空间分辨率的全球土地适宜性地图，该地图通过使用当前和计划开发的位置进行了验证，并对不确定性及敏感性进行了检查。DPIs可用于识别当前具有有利经济和物理条件的土地，以促进单个部门的扩张，并协助全球范围内该部门和累积发展的规划。
