The New School’s Urban Systems Lab announced the continued development and scaling of ClimateIQ, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered climate risk evaluation tool built on multiple urban climate hazard models. The ClimateIQ team is proud to partner with the City of New York as the inaugural partner city to test and validate the AI modeling environment.

The development of ClimateIQ is being led by Dr. Timon McPhearson at The New School’s Urban Systems Lab and a team of scientists and designers. This stage of development is being funded through a $5M award from Google.org’s Impact Challenge on Climate Innovation, a commitment from the tech company’s philanthropy to fund six big bet projects that accelerate technological advances in climate information and action.
