Reimagining Risk: Climate Data for Resilient Communities

Extreme climate events—rising temperatures, floods, droughts, and wildfires—are devastating communities and ecosystems, disproportionately affecting those who rely on natural resources for their livelihoods. Yet, emerging climate intelligence, risk analytics, and parametric solutions are not only improving disaster preparedness but also creating new financial incentives to protect nature and strengthen community resilience.

This session will explore how cutting-edge technologies such as AI-driven risk modeling, satellite-based climate monitoring, and blockchain-enabled instruments are helping communities and businesses:
– Anticipate and respond to climate shocks with real-time data, early warning systems, and predictive analytics
– Monetize environmental protection efforts through insurance, carbon markets, and nature-based financial instruments
– Strengthen nature-based resilience strategies by integrating technology into regenerative land management, disaster response, and climate adaptation

By leveraging these innovations, vulnerable communities can protect critical ecosystems, secure financial stability, and drive long-term climate resilience.
