Physical climate risks are rising sharply across the world. Recent climate‑scenario research shows that, without adaptation, the economic impact of climate change could multiply by mid‑century, driven by more intense extreme weather, higher exposure, and non‑linear damage functions. These physical climate risks — from cyclones, floods, and extreme heat — increasingly threaten infrastructure, supply chains, and regional GDP.

CCART is a transparent, open‑source physical climate risk framework designed to help organisations understand, quantify, and manage these risks. 

We use physically modelled climate hazards, not narrative‑only reports, to estimate district‑level climate impacts today and under multiple future climate scenarios. This enables evidence‑based climate adaptation planning, risk management, and long‑term resilience building.

Our modelling workflow builds on the open‑source platforms like CLIMADA, extended with CCART’s India‑specific hazard engines, exposure layers, and scenario logic. Cyclone and flood models are already operational, and we are actively extending our capabilities to include extreme heat in the near future.

CCART is completely open‑source and free to use, enabling researchers, hydrologists, and institutions to build, validate, and extend climate‑risk analytics collaboratively.
