Description
Climate change is expected to affect every country in the world, but not all regions are equally impacted. Data from climate science, including precipitation, wind, temperature, drought, and sea level rise, assist with identifying locations with the greatest climate change impacts. Such data can then be used to fuel engineering solutions and provide climate resilience opportunities in the short- and long-terms.
