With the first biennial transparency report (BTR) submissions due to the UNFCCC this year, and the next round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) in 2025, all eyes will be on targets: reporting on targets, and progress against them.

Biodiversity loss and human impacts are becoming a key component in climate change conversations. Experts discuss their views on how biodiversity loss and climate change are also impacting the financial sector. The conversation was part of Insider's event "For a Better Future: Bridging Culture, Business, and Climate," which took place on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.

In the fourth instalment of our series introducing you to the brilliant people behind Climate Policy Radar, we spoke to Matyas Juhasz about Natural Language Processing (NLP), what drew him to policy, and the day in the life of a data scientist.

In the latest episode in TechMarketView's series of Totally Sust podcasts, SustainabilityViews’ lead analyst, Craig Wentworth, interviews Henry Franks (Chief Technology Officer at Climate Policy Radar) about how they're using AI to extract value and meaning from 100,000s pages of climate regulations and data the world over—and what uses this insight is being put to (and by whom).

In the third instalment of our series introducing you to the brilliant people behind Climate Policy Radar, we spoke to Mark Cottam about the appeal of climate policy, his role as a Data Engineer and balancing sporting commitments with work.

For the second instalment of our new series, introducing you to the brilliant people behind Climate Policy Radar, we spoke to Alanna Flores. Alanna spent the last 6 months working in Climate Policy Radar’s data science team as part of Schmidt Futures Technologists for Global Transformation, a programme designed to broaden the pool of technologists working for public benefit. As we bid Alanna farewell, we caught up with her about her time at Climate Policy Radar and the programme.

Climate Policy Radar is thrilled to announce that it has secured over $6.8 million in new funding from multiple funders: the Environmental Defence Fund (EDF), Google.org, Open Society Foundations (OSF), The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, Sequoia Climate Foundation, Schmidt Futures, and Quadrature Climate Foundation (QCF).

When we started building Climate Policy Radar, we had lots of assumptions about who our users were and what solutions would help them. User research has helped us ensure our research tool meets the needs of the people we’re building it for - mainly “knowledge workers”. These are people processing large quantities of messy textual data: policy analysts, academics and risk modellers. In this blog post, we’ll explain why we carry out user research, how we’ve done it so far, what we’re learning, and some of the improvements we’re making in response.

Climate Policy Radar’s search tool breaks a critical research barrier by enabling users to search non English law and policy documents, and see English translations of passages that match their search.

Welcome to Climate Policy Radar’s first newsletter! We have been busy over the last few months, and we have some exciting updates to share with you.

The technical phase of the first UN Climate Change Global Stocktake came to a close at the UN Climate Conference in Bonn last week. The Global Stocktake, which is designed to assess the global response to the climate crisis every five years (and this year, for the first time), has seen together over 1,600 document submissions with insights and recommendations from governments and non-governmental organizations around the world to help drive climate action this decade.
