Climate Central Inc

Climate matters: climate matters is a climate reporting resource program grounded in the latest science that helps meteorologists and journalists report on climate impacts and solutions in ways that are local, immediate, and personal. The organization's team of scientists, data analysts and visual artists identify and interpret data and produce easy-to-understand text and visual materials, including graphics, interactive content and videos, to help journalists build stories that will engage and enlighten their audience. The organization's reporting tools are available, free of charge, to anyone interested in telling engaging local, science-based stories about how global climate change is impacting their community, why it matters, and what can be done about it.

Realtime climate: realtime climate is an initiative to dispatch timely alerts and related content to meteorologists, other journalists, and other subscribers when current local conditions present a notable opportunity to communicate about climate change, its impacts, or its solutions. At realtime climate's core is a continually updated software system that monitors a growing range of data streams from local weather forecasts to coastal water levels to local renewable energy generation. When key thresholds are met, the system assembles related content, largely leveraging research and materials from the climate matters and sea level rise programs, and sends alerts to subscribers in the areas experiencing threshold conditions. Subscribers include participants in the climate matters program and many stakeholders of the sea level rise program, as well as anyone who opts in using an online form on climate central's website.

Sea level rise: the organization's program on sea level rise strives to provide science-based, clear and granular information about sea level rise and coastal flood hazards both locally and globally, today and tomorrow. Anchored in rigorous primary research, the organization's work distinguishes itself by its user-friendly maps and tools, extensive datasets, and high-quality visual presentations. The program dedicates its efforts to helping journalists, citizens, communities, businesses, organizations, and governments at every level to understand the consequences of different carbon pathways and to navigate the shifting waters of our warming world.floodvision: floodvision, an innovative tool developed by climate central, uses advanced data collection techniques, ai-based algorithms, and intuitive software to produce science-based augmented-reality photos of specific locations. Users can choose optional views to contrast meaningful scenarios in their neighborhoods, such as projected sea levels based on different carbon pathways or local storm surge forecasts from approaching hurricanes. Floodvision is designed to empower the organization's broad media networks, as well as local governments, agencies, ngos and other coastal stakeholders, such as emergency managers who can use the imagery to strengthen evacuation warnings and other safety measures. This helps the public and other stakeholders better visualize and understand the impacts of climate change.partnership journalism: the organization brings a partnership journalism initiative to the service of attribution, climate matters, and sea level rise to add depth to the understanding of the human impacts of climate change and, when applicable, its promising solutions. Partnering with local and national media organizations, the organization produces and helps develop stories for a wide variety of print, digital, radio, and tv outlets.enterprise: focuses on marketing and licensing organizational tools and data to domestic and foreign corporations such as insurance and real estate companies, rating agencies and national, state and local governmental entities.
