Problem
Local communities and municipalities often lack granular, hyperlocal environmental data needed to understand climate impacts, prepare for extreme weather, and plan resilience investments, relying instead on sparse weather stations and satellite data that miss neighborhood-level conditions.
Solution
ISeeChange provides a community observation platform that crowdsources daily weather and climate reports from residents, pairing these human observations with local sensor and meteorological data. The platform helps communities, researchers, and government agencies detect micro-climate trends, document environmental changes such as flooding, heat, or drought, and generate evidence for resilience planning and infrastructure decisions.
Target Audience
Primary users are municipal resilience planners, urban sustainability offices, climate researchers, and community organizations seeking neighborhood-scale environmental data for planning and advocacy.
