Risk and Adaptation
In an increasingly dynamic and interconnected world, understanding and managing climate risks has become not only a competitive advantage, but an imperative for any organization seeking longevity and resilience.
In this context, having access to robust and reliable climate data is essential for companies and governments to manage risks and capitalize on opportunities in a rapidly changing environment.

The aim is to recognize the territories’ need to decarbonize and adapt to climate change, reduce risks and make cities more resilient.

How does the WayCarbon Ecosystem Climate Risk module work?
The Ecosystem Climate Risk Management module was developed after nearly two decades of WayCarbon’s experience in climate consulting. The platform identifies, calculates potential financial impacts and provides information for climate risk management through models and scenarios of additional global warming. This is done across multiple spatial and temporal scales, tailored to the reality of each sector.
