■ Features of Climate Vision
Climate Vision (beta) provides global flood risk information calculated based on historical climate data. This information was developed based on high-precision data created by Gaia Vision using the research results of the University of Tokyo, etc. and intellectual property, Japan and boasts a high resolution of 30 m in Japan and 90 m in other countries. It can be easily operated and analyzed in a web application based on easy-to-understand GIS (Geographic Information System), and can be used by the person in charge of sustainability at companies and financial institutions who are the intended users to respond to sustainability information disclosure such as TCFD and CDP.

■ Background of development
The impact of climate change is increasing natural disasters such as floods around the world, and there is concern around the world that disaster risk may increase in the future. Given the strong demand from financial institutions and other organizations for corporate risk management and disclosure of information on climate risks, Gaia Vision has continued to develop tools that can easily analyze flood risk, which is one of the largest types of damage among climate physical risks. In order to make it available to people in charge of companies and financial institutions as soon as possible, we have decided to release it in beta version. We will continue to develop to expand our functions.

■ How to use Climate Vision
1. Specify the latitude and longitude of the point to be analyzed from the registered
address and easily register the point you want to analyze. It is also possible to upload a CSV file and register multiple locations at once.
2. Run AnalysisAnalysis
Analysis can be easily performed with the push of a button. Your price is determined based on the number of locations you want to analyze.
3. Display/download results on map
The analysis allows you to display the flood risk value at that point on a map and in a table. We also provide flood risk data around the location.

■ Future developmentOnly
some functions and data are implemented in the current beta version, and we plan to release it in the autumn or so. In addition to floods, we will continue research and development on other climate-related risks such as storm surges, heat waves, and water resources, and strive to contribute to the improvement of climate risk management and sustainability for companies, financial institutions, and local governments.
