As climate extremes become more intense and frequent, governments and organizations urgently need tools capable of transforming weather and socioeconomic data into actionable intelligence. To address this challenge, InfoChoice developed the MVP3 Climate-Economic Risk Platform, an innovative solution that combines climate science, economics, and data intelligence to estimate the integrated risk of every Brazilian state.
Designed for the OpenWeather Challenge 2025, this project presents a modern, scalable, and accessible way to use weather data for real-world decision-making.
🌍 The Challenge
Brazil faces rapidly growing climate and socioeconomic pressures:
- More frequent heatwaves, storms, and floods
- Increased exposure of vulnerable populations
- Lack of tools that combine real-time weather data with socioeconomic conditions
- Need for interpretable, scalable analytical models
MVP3 addresses exactly this gap.
🚀 The Solution: MVP3 InfoChoice
The MVP3 dashboard integrates:
- Current Weather
- 5-Day / 3-Hour Forecast
- OpenWeather Weather Maps
- Official socioeconomic indicators
- A Machine Learning model for socioeconomic risk
- Integrated climate-economic risk index (v1)
- Automatic Rationale for each state
- Bilingual interface (EN/PT)
All wrapped into a lightweight, scalable and user-friendly platform.
