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（Development Potential Indices，DPIs）数据集包含13个部门级发展潜力指数，覆盖可再生能源（聚光太阳能发电、光伏太阳能、风电、水电）、化石燃料（煤炭、常规与非常规油气）、矿业（金属矿、非金属矿）以及农业（作物种植、生物燃料扩张）相关部门。各部门的发展潜力指数均代表兼顾资源潜力与开发可行性的土地适宜性。每个发展潜力指数均为分辨率1公里的空间显式全球土地适宜性地图，已通过当前及规划开发点位完成验证，并针对不确定性与敏感性开展了检验分析。该类指数可用于识别当前具备有利经济与自然条件、适合单个部门扩张的土地，同时有助于开展全球范围内的部门级与累积开发规划工作。
