environmentTestedTRL 5

Imagine a giant library that connects all the best climate experts and tools in one place. Instead of searching through dozens of different websites to understand how a flood or heatwave might hit your business, you have one single door to get the answers. It's like a GPS for climate risks that helps you navigate future threats to your assets.

The business problem

What needed solving

Companies struggle to find reliable, integrated climate risk data because it is scattered across different scientific disciplines and countries. This makes it difficult to accurately predict how climate change will impact specific assets or production lines.

The solution

What was built

A one-stop-shop Catalogue of Services for climate risk and a management tool for automated scheduling and performance monitoring of technical assistance.

Target: Risk Assessment Firm

If you are a risk assessment firm dealing with unpredictable weather claims — this project developed a catalogue of services that provides evidence-based data on hazards and vulnerabilities. This allows for more accurate pricing of climate-related policies.

Agriculture
SME
Target: Agri-Tech Provider

If you are an agri-tech provider dealing with crop failure due to climate shifts — this project developed integrated research infrastructure services that map exposure and risks. This helps in designing more resilient farming systems.

Urban Planning
mid-size
Target: Infrastructure Consultancy

If you are an infrastructure consultancy dealing with city vulnerability to extreme heat — this project developed a one-stop-shop for climate risk services. This enables the design of urban layouts that withstand specific climate hazards.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost to access these services?

Based on available project data, pricing is not specified, but the project focuses on providing transnational, virtual, and onsite access through a dedicated catalogue.

Is this technology ready for industrial scale?

The project is currently in the service integration phase, utilizing Service Design Labs and Demonstrators to benchmark cross-infrastructure services.

How is the IP and licensing handled?

Based on available project data, the project emphasizes that data will be open and made available in compliance with FAIR principles.

When will the services be available?

The project period runs from 2024-04-01 to 2028-09-30, with the catalogue of services being released in three consecutive versions.

How do I integrate this into my existing risk software?

The project is linking its data to European initiatives such as EOSC to ensure better data interoperability.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academia, with 37 universities and 36 research organizations. However, the inclusion of 79 partners across 21 countries indicates a massive data-gathering capability. With only 3 industry partners (4% ratio), the project is primarily a scientific infrastructure play rather than a commercial product development, though it aims to serve policymakers and industry users.
