Krabu Grupp implemented the analysis and development phase of the Climate Atlas commissioned by the Estonian Environment Agency, resulting in a web-based interactive tool for visualizing Estonia’s climate data.

Climate change is increasingly affecting planning, infrastructure, urban space, water management, agriculture, and human health. Responsible and sustainable decision-making requires reliable data and the ability to interpret it clearly and understandably. The Climate Atlas consolidates over sixty years of monitoring data into a unified digital environment, enabling visualization of changes in temperature, precipitation, wind, hydrological indicators, and other climate parameters over time and across regions. The solution allows users to compare current indicators with climate norms, analyze long-term trends, and assess potential risks.

“Climate data is extensive and complex, but for decision-makers it must be clear and usable. The greatest value of this project is that scientific information has been transformed into a practical planning tool,” said Ken Metsis, Project Manager at Krabu Grupp. This is not just a new web platform, but a national data solution aimed at helping society better understand the impacts of climate change and take them into account in decision-making.

“The Climate Atlas performs a significant amount of data processing for the user and brings together objective knowledge about climate variability in one compact place,” said Taimar Ala, Director of the Environment Agency. Clearly and concisely presented data helps answer a practical question: how our climate and water regime have changed over time. This knowledge is essential for many strategic decisions and makes the atlas a valuable tool for both specialists and decision-makers.

Krabu Grupp’s role in the project included solution analysis, technical architecture design, and web application development. The goal was to create a scalable and extensible data platform that enables adding new climate parameters, projections, and integrations with other information systems in the future. It was essential to ensure that complex and large datasets are presented in a user-friendly way and support the daily work of both specialists and decision-makers.

The completed solution helps link scientific data with practical planning decisions and supports Estonia’s readiness to adapt to a changing climate. The Climate Atlas is available here: https://kliimaatlas.keskkonnaportaal.ee/
