Description

This dataset contains information on 137 publications and 901 indicators and metrics (I&M) sourced in the scientific literature to measure adaptation to climate change in urban areas. Between February 2022 and June 2023, we performed a systematic review and analysis of publications and indicators and metrics (I&M) found in scientific literature. We analysed scientific publications from the LENS scholarly literature database www.lens.org which is openly accessible and diverse in the typologies of scientific publications. An original search provided 838 records, from which we selected and analysed 137 based on our inclusion and exclusion criteria (Screening and Coding Stage 1). We then collected and analysed 901 I&M (including indices) (Screening and Coding Stage 2). The dataset includes metadata explaining the coding system for publications and I&M. It also includes the original LENS export. The systematic review method is published in the paper accompanying this dataset which is currently under review in a Nature portfolio journal.
