Household Carbon

Which choices actually matter vs. which are symbolic.

Map your household's greenhouse gas footprint by category — transportation, heating, diet, goods — and explore hypothetical changes. See why one transatlantic flight outweighs a year of recycling, and where individual choice ends and policy must begin.

Resilience Map

Block-by-block vulnerability. Mutual aid for the next heat wave.

Map your neighborhood's climate vulnerability: homes without AC, flood-prone intersections, heat-island streets without canopy. Coordinate climate adaptation strategies and surface climate justice patterns in past planning decisions.

Climate Action Tracker

Track progress against targets. Coordinate the annual inventory. Produce the council report.

Manage a city's climate action plan: track mitigation projects against sector targets, run the annual greenhouse gas inventory workflow, update the climate vulnerability assessment, and produce council reports — all from the same underlying records.

Policy Package Assessment

Carbon price, clean electricity standard, building electrification — analyze the portfolio.

Assess a state energy transition policy package: document each policy's emissions pathway, run life cycle analysis for electrification incentives, evaluate distributional impacts on frontline communities, and compare scenarios with different carbon pricing mechanisms.

Assessment Synthesis

Multi-agency drafting. Full evidence base. Fully auditable.

Coordinate a national climate assessment across dozens of contributing agencies. Attach published studies to specific claims, track contested vs. well-supported findings, manage expert peer review, and maintain versioned snapshots from every review stage.
