Climate Insights
The latest announcements follow the release last week of two new climate insights offerings for the public sector. Keeble said too often industries, governments and corporations are challenged to make sustainability decisions without the right data or insights to inform them.
Climate Insights is designed to help public sector organizations predict climate risks in order to build resilience.
“We launched offerings for both natural resources and for infrastructure,” said Keeble. “And we’re already seeing the real-life benefits of these technologies such as the state of Hawaii Department of Transportation, which today manages about 2,500 miles of highway, 20% of which are facing risks due to erosion and sea-level rise. They can now use Climate Insights to assess risks and prioritise investment decisions based on multiple climate factors.
“The urgency for meaningful action will only increase and I’m really excited that Google Cloud will be at the heart of that journey. By leading with Google, enabling our partners to transform and helping everyone to make more sustainable choices.”
