New platform connects climate hazard data, government disclosures, and AI-powered insights to support smarter, investment-ready resilience planning
CDP (NYSE:CDP), the global non-profit that runs the world’s largest independent environmental disclosure system, today announced the launch of the CDP Adaptation & Action Explorer, an AI-powered platform designed to help cities, states, and regions better understand climate risk, prioritize adaptation actions, and unlock finance for resilience planning.
Developed with support from Google.org through its Fellowship program, the CDP Adaptation & Action Explorer brings together climate hazard data, local government disclosures, and artificial intelligence in a single, accessible platform. Built on CDP data from more than 1,000 subnational governments across over 80 countries, representing 16% of the global population, the platform provides decision-makers with actionable and investment-relevant insights.
Cities, states, and regions are increasingly exposed to climate hazards including flooding, extreme heat, drought, and wildfires. In 2025, more than 94% of disclosing governments reported being impacted by climate hazards. With more than 55% of the world’s population already living in urban areas, and the United Nations projecting that figure to reach nearly 70% by 2050, the resilience of subnational governments is becoming increasingly critical.
Despite this growing need, climate risk and resilience data has often remained fragmented, technical, and difficult to interpret without specialist expertise. Subnational governments have also lacked consistent ways to communicate their priorities, needs, and investment opportunities to funders and partners, slowing collaboration and adaptation efforts.
The CDP Adaptation & Action Explorer addresses this gap by integrating CDP disclosures with high-quality climate hazard data from Google Earth Engine and AI-driven analysis running on Google Cloud. The platform enables users to move from understanding climate risk to identifying practical actions, funding needs, and investment opportunities.
Through the CDP Adaptation & Action Explorer, users can:
Assess climate risk by location: Explore reported climate hazards, at-risk sectors and populations, and barriers to adaptation across cities, states, and regions. The platform also integrates map-based hazard data from Google Earth Engine covering eight major climate hazards.
Understand adaptation plans and project pipelines: Review the goals governments have set, the actions already underway, and climate-related projects identified for implementation and financing.
Identify solutions and peer best practices: Discover adaptation measures disclosed by governments facing similar risks, helping inform decision-making and support collaboration, finance, and partnerships.
Use AI-powered insights: Query complex datasets through an integrated AI assistant to uncover location-specific insights and support evidence-based planning and prioritization.
By combining CDP’s Cities and States & Regions disclosures with climate and nature hazard data and AI-powered analysis, the CDP Adaptation & Action Explorer provides tailored intelligence to support resilience planning. The platform is designed to help governments prioritize interventions, strengthen the case for investment, and engage more effectively with funders and partners.
The launch builds on the Google.org Fellowship previously announced by CDP. The six-month project brought together a dedicated team of Google AI specialists, UX designers, and software engineers to support CDP on a pro-bono basis. The collaboration focused on integrating Google’s AI and Cloud technology with CDP’s environmental dataset to build the new open-source platform.
“Cities and regions don’t just need data — they need clarity on what to do next,” said Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP. “This is a transformational tool that harnesses CDP’s powerful data to accelerate real-world action. It brings together risk, action, and opportunity in one place, helping subnational governments prioritize, plan, and communicate with confidence. By making data usable and actionable, we are supporting earth-positive decisions that translate into real-world resilience.”
Katie Walsh, Global Director of Cities, States & Regions at CDP, said access to finance remains one of the most significant barriers to climate adaptation for subnational governments.
“In 2025, cities, states, and regions reporting through CDP identified 2,871 projects requiring a total of $114.3 billion in investment,” Walsh said. “The CDP Adaptation & Action Explorer brings this pipeline into focus, making it easier to surface investable projects, understand what peer governments are doing, identify funding needs, and connect opportunities with the partners required to deliver them. This is about turning ambition into funded, on-the-ground action.”
Maggie Johnson, Global Head at Google.org, added, “When we assisted CDP with this Fellowship, our goal was to show how AI can fundamentally transform complex data into actionable insights. By applying Google’s AI and Cloud technology to CDP’s unparalleled environmental dataset, we’ve helped to develop an open-source platform that empowers subnational leaders to move decisively from climate risk to resilience.”
The CDP Adaptation & Action Explorer is now available to support governments, funders, and partners working to strengthen climate resilience and accelerate adaptation action.
