Every fact rendered on a country page deep-links to this source. We don't copy values blindly — our ingestion pipeline fetches directly from the publisher and logs every run so the provenance chain is verifiable.

No countries report this indicator yet, or the values are text-only (e.g., Köppen-Geiger climate codes). Check back after the next ingestion run.
