3 powerful ways GIS can help combat climate change

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) play a key role in addressing climate change by providing valuable insights and data-driven solutions. Companies and municipalities can leverage GIS technology to enhance their decision-making and sustainability efforts in three key areas:

ESG reporting under CSRD.

GIS technology supports accurate ESG reporting by visualising critical environmental data such as carbon emissions, biodiversity, and climate impact. It helps organisations comply with the CSRD and ESRS standards, turning complex data into actionable insights for meeting sustainability goals and reducing environmental impact.

Greener urban planning with the 3-30-300 rule.

GIS plays a vital role in implementing the 3-30-300 rule, which focuses on ensuring neighbourhoods have sufficient green spaces and tree canopy coverage. This technology helps cities and organisations plan and monitor these green initiatives, ensuring they meet sustainability standards and promote healthier environments for residents.

Risk forecasting for safer investments.

GIS allows for precise risk mapping of environmental hazards, such as flooding or pollution, helping organisations assess and mitigate potential risks. By leveraging GIS, businesses can make informed investment decisions, safeguard infrastructure, and ensure compliance with ESG regulations.

By integrating GIS into decision-making, organisations can enhance sustainability, improve risk management, and make smarter, data-driven choices that contribute to long-term environmental and economic goals.
