Today, we are keen to share our 2023 Impact Report, which describes Valo's impact framework for startups and showcases the technology solutions that our portfolio companies are developing. https://lnkd.in/gwWdgf3e To set our portfolio in the context of the broader climate tech ecosystem, we categorize our investments across three dimensions of impact that are aligned with the Impact Management Project’s “5 Dimensions of Impact.” As we put forward our impact framework and share the progress our individual companies have made to date, we welcome your thoughts on this important and often difficult task of impact measurement for early-stage startups. We are proud of the impact you are making! ARRIS Basecamp Research BioSqueeze Inc.

Americans are moving towards climate risk at record rates, at the same time insurers are raising rates and dropping coverage in higher risk areas at unprecedented levels. UrbanFootprint supported PBS in its coverage of US migration patterns and the impact of climate risk on the growing population of U.S. retirees. https://lnkd.in/gMHEgYEW #climaterisk, #retirement, #data4good, #migration

February #MapOfTheMonth 🌊 Earlier this month, parts of California faced an unprecedented onslaught of extreme precipitation. Two atmospheric rivers hit Southern California, causing widespread impacts throughout the region: - 9.7 trillion gallons of water dropped - 560+ mudslides altered landscapes and closed roads - 1.4 million people lost power - 4000+ Caltrans workers were deployed on the front lines - 7+ million sandbags prepositioned as defense - 7 counties declared a state of emergency 🌧️ Past vs. Present: See the dramatic contrast in precipitation between the average heaviest rainfall of the year (past 30 years) and the atmospheric rivers from earlier this month. 🔮Looking Ahead: Our climate models shed light on areas facing increased threats from future extreme precipitation. With the rise in the average annual 5-day maximum precipitation event, occurrences similar to this month's atmospheric rivers are expected to become more frequent. These recent storms underscore the urgent need for climate action and preparedness. What downstream impacts do you need to measure? #climateaction #california #atmosphericriver #data4good #awspartner
January #MapOfTheMonth We're proud to unveil the latest in our Map of the Month series. 🗺️ This month, we're focusing on Jacksonville, one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. Why Jacksonville? As we witness a trend of people moving into areas prone to extreme weather, we've taken a deeper dive into the hurricane risk that this booming city faces. We didn’t just look at the big picture; we zoomed down to the parcel level, combining our climate data, built environment characteristics, and community insights. 🏠Step 1: Remember Hurricane Irma? A whopping 68.79% of claims were residential. That's why we started our analysis by filtering down to residential areas, and visualizing the threat of category 3+ hurricane winds to homes. 🛠️ Step 2: In 2001, Florida responded to Hurricane Andrew by adopting one of the nation’s strictest building codes. But homes built before 2001? They're likely at a higher risk. We continue by filtering to show only these homes, and how their property value is distributed throughout the city. 👵🏽 Step 3: Our elderly, as well as those living below the poverty line are at heightened risk. We've pinpointed where high concentrations of these socially vulnerable populations are also living in homes that are also at higher-risk of hurricane winds. 💡 This isn't just data. It's actionable intelligence - crucial for insurers, financial guarantors, and anyone who needs to see the full picture of risk through a financial lens.
