Press release
Callendar, the French specialist in access to climate projections, is strengthening its position to respond to the acceleration of climate change and adaptation needs
Paris, France - November 6, 2024
As the effects of climate change are felt on an unprecedented scale, Callendar , a French startup pioneering the development of tools for assessing climate risks, announces a strategic evolution of its brand and tools in order to respond to the urgency of adaptation. With a new image, a completely redesigned portal for accessing solutions and a strengthened team, Callendar asserts itself as a key player in facilitating access to the data essential to reducing climate risks.
Responding to the climate emergency: an unchanged but strengthened mission
Since its creation in 2019, Callendar has been developing accessible tools to anticipate the impacts of climate change at the local scale. Recent weather disasters highlight the need for reliable solutions to understand, anticipate and manage physical climate risks.
"We are in a moment of awareness. Companies, politicians and citizens realize that it is urgent to prepare to avoid the worst. The needs are immense, in France alone there are hundreds of thousands of sites at risk: nearly 14,000 medico-social establishments, 20,000 wastewater treatment plants, 300,000 bridges...", explains Thibault Laconde, President of Callendar. "Callendar must be up to the task, our new tools and our new identity reflect our desire to offer solutions on the scale of this challenge for all."
The startup, whose mission is to accelerate adaptation by facilitating access to climate risk assessment, notably offers free online tools intended for the general public.
Strengthened teams to accelerate the deployment of solutions
To support its growth, Callendar recently expanded its teams with two recruitments, enabling it to accelerate the development and distribution of its solutions.
A "board of experts", composed of personalities from industry, finance and the scientific world, has also been set up to guide Callendar in its strategic orientations. These experts will ensure that the solutions developed comply with good scientific practices and meet the real needs of users.
A new website and visual identity to embody Callendar’s mission
Callendar's new website, available today at www.callendar.tech , is intended to be an entry point to concrete solutions for understanding and reducing climate risks. It brings together on a single page free web applications intended for the general public and offers numerous training and popular science resources for those involved in adaptation and risk prevention.
The Callendar brand is also evolving. While remaining true to its origins and the tribute paid to the British pioneer of climate science, Guy S. Callendar, a new logo highlights the areas of intervention and commitments of the startup.
