Sustainability in the public sector
Monitor and manage the impacts of climate change with the help of Google Cloud.
Sustainability solutions
Google Cloud's Climate Insights solution helps public sector organizations utilize data to better understand climate risks, increase resilience, and inform land management and planning decisions. These offerings combine the multi-petabyte catalog of imagery and geospatial datasets of Earth Engine with the scale and speed of Google.
Climate Insights: how it works
Climate Insights uses a combination of Google Earth Engine, BigQuery, Vertex AI, and other solutions. It provides massive computing at scale to generate actionable insights from Earth-based observations. These insights help governments better identify climate risks, predict changes, and make data-driven decisions.
Climate Insights for infrastructure
Public sector organizations are also using Climate Insights to better understand and mitigate against the impacts of climate change on public infrastructure. Building on top of Google Earth Engine, Google Cloud, and partner CARTO, these insights help planners, policy analysts, operations staff, and executives understand the potential risks of climate change to physical infrastructure.
Climate Insights for natural resources
Google Cloud’s Climate Insights helps governments better understand and mitigate the impacts on natural resources. Drawing on Google Earth Engine’s data catalog, Climate Insights for natural resources leverages Climate Engine to provide agencies with an efficient way to ingest, process, and deliver pre-built Earth observation insights.
Through a strategic partnership with Google Cloud, our scientists are leveraging cutting-edge cloud technologies. These next-generation geo-solutions allow massive volumes of earth observation data to be converted into actionable insights, improving Canada’s economic and environmental performance.
