Vulnerable Communities Lack Access to Essential Climate Information

Communities at Risk Due to Lack of Climate Hazard Data

The majority of cities and communities globally lack information about climate hazards, endangering communities that are often the first to be impacted.

Technical Barriers Limit Access to Climate Data

While new data and technologies offer some promise, the lack of technical expertise, computational power, and funding make it difficult for communities to utilize.

How it works

ClimateIQ is based on an innovative, integrated multi-hazard modeling environment, which generates predictions for high resolution urban heat and extreme flood hazard exposure information.

ClimateIQ uses advanced physics-based models to simulate climate hazard exposure.

Machine learning models learn to reproduce the outputs of the physics-based models, speeding up climate hazard simulation time.

To make hazard information available to users, ClimateIQ partners with Climasens to provide a user-friendly dashboard and APIs for easy integration into existing workflows.

Our Users

ClimateIQ is for city and town planners, community based organizations, NGOs, and communities that need access to local climate information.
