Abstract: In analyzing the socio-economic impacts of extreme events, it is essential to consider the effects and interactions of climatic variables at the local level. The Platform for Economic Analysis of Climate Hazards (PEACH) combines preexisting datasets to a globally applicable framework to assess socioeconomic effects from 14 continental climate impact drivers (CID), following the IPCC report, and 3 geophysical hazards. The spatial resolution is on a 10 × 10 km grid for each month between 2000 and 2019, with full coverage between 2004 and 2015. Six commonly used socio-economic variables are added including annual population, nighttime-light and normalized-differenced vegetation index. Unlike previous datasets, it avoids imposing thresholds for inclusion whenever possible, enabling the exploration of response and damage functions based on the intensity of shocks
