What this episode covers
ISeeChange is an online platform and mobile app that combines community voices with microdata to help cities, engineers, and utilities inform local infrastructure design and adaptation that scale. Communities are struggling to facilitate meaningful dialogues about climate risk and mitigation actions. When community voices go unheard, valuable insights and critical data get missed, funds and time are wasted, and public trust erodes. ISeeChange gives residents a way to quickly report climate and weather-driven changes in their community as they experience them, including impacts such as urban heat, wildfires, and air quality, as well as flooding and coastal changes. Cities and other local clients then use the aggregated data to inform and adapt policies, models, and designs. ISeeChange tackles the climate crisis by helping clients better respond to their constituents' needs while building capacity among those most acutely affected by climate change. Founder and CEO, Julia Kumari Drapkin, walks me through her background as a climate journalist, why she started ISeeChange, what the company has accomplished so far and where it is heading.
