What the tool does
- Provides real-time data visualisations of key global climate indicators.
- Utilises attribution science to quantify the influence of climate change on daily local weather, ocean temperatures, and tropical cyclones.
- Offers interactive mapping through the Climate Shift Index to track atmospheric and oceanic shifts.
- Integrates historical data on billion-dollar weather and climate disasters to show frequency and cost trends.
- Features photorealistic visualisations of flood risk from sea level rise and storm surge events.
Target audience
The primary audience includes finance professionals, underwriters, infrastructure planners, journalists, policymakers, and researchers seeking to localise climate impacts and assess environmental risk.
Relevance to finance professionals
- Risk assessment – Evaluation of building-level elevation data and coastal flood layers for high-accuracy underwriting and pricing decisions.
