A handy overview of ClimateNode's current work using #NLP/#LLMs to extract and compile unstructured data on sectoral and company impacts of climate-related events is available in conference poster format on the website:

Currently putting together a talk on human welfare and economic impacts of climate change. Here's a slide with selected news stories I've noticed in recent months. Political parties which don't understand the moment of history we are in won't get my vote. #RishiSunak #NetZero

ClimateNode is building tools for AI-assisted climate risk research.

These techniques can be used to:

• compress knowledge dispersed amongst 1000s of documents
• horizon scan for risks relevant to individual organisations and their assets
• identify risks and historic impacts relevant to critical points in supply chains
• improve knowledge of secondary perils
• improve understanding of how drought, heat, floods and hail are affecting agriculture
• understand on-the-ground non-climate factors relevant to identifying risks, for example, water management practices

ClimateNode is using #LargeLanguageModels to build systems to routinely scan scientific papers, world newspapers and government reports for granular, location and sector-specific information about climate-related hazards and risks. Collaborations welcome, get in touch: #NLP http://climatenode.org

ClimateNode's recent Urban Flash Flooding in England project, using #NLP/geocoding to convert info in news reports into maps, is described in the most recent edition of the British Hydrological Society's 'Circulation' newsletter. You can read about it here:
