U.S. Climate Risk Data

Overview

ClimateCheck synthesizes data from internationally accepted models and government agencies, informed by academic research. Their rating for each hazard is based on climate change projections through 2050. ClimateCheck provides the underlying details of the ratings, described below for each hazard, and compare these details for multiple emissions scenarios, representing a range of possible futures depending on how much, and how quickly, humans reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

Data for Each Hazard
