In today’s VUCA-BANI environment, companies need the best possible information across various time horizons to define their medium- and long-term strategies, enabling them to adapt to changing conditions and minimize risks. In this context, alongside other socio-economic and political factors, climate variability plays a key role in many sectors.
In many industries, short-term weather forecasts (for hours or days ahead) are commonly used, such as in energy trading or agricultural planning. However, beyond these time frames, it’s often assumed that past conditions will accurately represent future trends, without considering the impacts of climate change and its inherent variability.
RESILIENCE aims to bridge this gap by developing a climate service for businesses that integrates climate forecasts at weekly, monthly, and yearly scales into decision-making processes. The scientific community has made significant advancements in this area in recent years, developing tools and insights that, if properly harmonized and packaged as a product, could facilitate the widespread adoption of climate predictions as a standard tool for assessing climate variability risks in business management.
