Climate Risk Data Quality Is a Market Problem, Not Just a Methods Problem
Public climate data is abundant but coarse. Asset-level risk analysis needs resolution public data can't provide, so a private, well-funded market has emerged to close that gap with proprietary, often AI-driven methods. We think that market's structure — who can afford fine-grained data, and who can't — is itself a climate justice problem, made worse when the data isn't even reliably accurate.
