Arctic Basecamp Unveils Groundbreaking AI Aggregator on Global Climate Risks at Davos and showcases its work in the World Economic Forum’s Metaverse
Arctic Basecamp, a leading authority on global risks associated with polar change, proudly showcases a dynamic duo of cutting-edge technology tools at the prestigious World Economic Forum in Davos. The first is an evolutionary AI-generated global risk aggregator. The second is the Climate Tipping Point Hub in the Global Collaboration Village, an immersive virtual experience within a purpose-driven platform, powered by next-generation technology and initiated by the World Economic Forum, in partnership with Accenture and Microsoft.
AI Aggregator
The new AI aggregator, due to be launched fully next week, offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring and understanding global climate risks. Developed in collaboration with ODE, the same agency behind Al Gore's acclaimed Climate Trace, Arctic Basecamp's AI Global Risk aggregator stands at the forefront of technological innovation in climate science.
The aggregator currently operates in two distinct modes. The first mode consolidates all news stories related to polar issues, including content translated from 100 languages into English using advanced AI language translation capabilities. The second mode focuses on aggregating news stories specifically related to extreme weather events daily, providing users with up-to-the-minute insights into climate-related incidents worldwide.
We believe that informed decision-making is crucial in addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change. Our AI aggregator is designed to empower individuals, businesses, and policymakers with real-time information on global climate risks, ultimately contributing to more effective climate action including mitigation and importantly -- adaptation.

To provide a sneak peek into the capabilities of this groundbreaking tool, Arctic Basecamp has released an advanced beta version HERE. Users are encouraged to take a closer look and experience the future of climate risk analysis firsthand. Arctic Basecamp is also committed to enhancing user accessibility by developing a mobile app for both Apple and Android platforms. The mobile app is expected to be available within the next six weeks, further extending the reach of this powerful tool to a global audience.
An Evolving Platform for Visualizing and Collaborating
Arctic Basecamp will also be hosting a virtual reality (VR) panel, The Global Risks Associated with Sea Level Rise from a Melting Greenland inside the main Congress Centre at The Global Collaboration Village. This is a purpose-driven platform powered by next-generation technology, that brings leaders together to solve real-world problems through the collaborative potential of extended reality.
The VR Arctic Basecamp in the World Economic Forum's Global Collaboration Village
The Village is a World Economic Forum initiative, in partnership with Accenture and Microsoft. Arctic Basecamp is one of the first Village partners to have a VR event space where we can host discussion linking polar climate change to global risks. We are leveraging the immersive virtual environments and 3D tools to enable decision-makers from around the world to connect across distances, visualize challenges from new angles, discuss potential solutions, and share diverse insights in a dynamic and collaborative space.
The goal of our panel is to provide an opportunity to discuss the socio-economic, business, environmental, and cultural impacts of global sea level rise due to Arctic change, specifically the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. We would like our participants to engage in discussions about how we can drive change in global policies and regulations to move towards a low-to-zero emissions pathways and achieve our 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Arctic Basecamp provided crucial scientific advice and support in the creation of the Climate Tipping Points Hub, an integral part of the Global Collaboration Village.

About Arctic Basecamp
Arctic Basecamp Foundation is a non-profit science communication organisation focused on communicating the global climate risks from polar change. On a mission to “speak science to power", the foundation aims to expand the global reach of its advocacy and research on how polar risks are impacting the global climate crisis. Each year, Arctic Basecamp scientists and collaborators set up a real Arctic science tent, camp there and run impactful events on the impacts of climate change alongside the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting at Davos.
