For fifteen years, Berkeley Earth has maintained the world’s most rigorous independent observational temperature record — 1.6 billion observations, cited 78 times in the most recent IPCC Summary for Policymakers, and used as one of the foundational global temperature datasets across the climate science community.
On June 16, we open the next chapter of that work to the public.
Synthesis by Berkeley Earth is a new city-level climate intelligence platform combining our high-resolution observational record with forward-looking warming projections for more than 8,000 locations worldwide. It is the first forward-looking product Berkeley Earth has produced, and the first time historical observations and future projections are available in a single platform at the resolution where infrastructure and investment decisions happen.
About the Webinar
Join us on June 16 for a live preview of Synthesis, with C40 Cities. Their recent analysis — powered by Synthesis projections data — finds that cooling electricity demand could increase by as much as 368% in some of the world’s fastest-growing cities by 2050. Christina Xiao and Honorine van den Broek d’Obrenan will present what that means for energy infrastructure planning at scale.
We will also release a new case study from our collaboration with the Associated Press, evaluating which Winter Olympics host cities will remain climatically viable by mid-century.
Berkeley Earth Chief Scientist Robert Rohde and Executive Director Kristen Sissener will present and demonstrate live.
