Ridge-i, JAMSTEC and Kochi University co-develop regional climate AI to support climate change adaptation planning

JAMSTEC, Kochi University and Ridge-i co-developed a region-specific AI that combines climate projection data with local adaptation plans to support municipalities and other organizations in developing climate change measures. A case study in Kumagaya City demonstrated that the AI can propose measures to address extreme heat, including numerical estimates and the calculation process.

Announced details

Regional climate-focused large language model (LLM) / regional climate service
Applicable field (uses covered by this announcement)

Climate change adaptation measures, climate risk assessment and adaptation planning for municipalities, measures to address extreme heat, regional climate services

What the company reported numerically
Quantitative Effects

Based on projections of future temperature increases, the AI makes quantitative proposals for the increase in heatstroke cases and the requirements for installing additional green curtains and rest areas. Improved performance in Japanese and English was confirmed compared with the base model. Specific figures and rates: Not disclosed.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Local governments and small and medium-sized enterprises lack the specialized knowledge and data analysis capabilities related to climatology, regional industries and public policy, as well as the personnel and financial resources needed to formulate adaptation plans.
