How can we make complex climate change scenarios understandable and actionable for decision makers? The SENSES Toolkit is a platform designed to make climate change scenarios more accessible by using custom data visualizations and a step-by-step introduction from learning modules to guided exploration and freely explorable scenario environments.
It specifically addresses the needs of policy makers, finance professionals, and regional scenario users. By collaborating directly with these stakeholders, the SENSES team ensured that the toolkit empowers users to explore and apply climate change scenarios effectively in their own work.
The goal of the toolkit is to empower the users and enable them to use the climate change scenarios for their own projects. For example, climate change scenarios can be used to demonstrate the most cost-effective ways to reach the 1.5° goal, to reveal how global warming will lead to more extreme events and to identify financial investment risks.
