Description

While reports from organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are clear that climate change will alter and intensify weather events, it is unclear exactly how these shifts will affect economic activity. This project first seeks to identify the climate weather events that will have the most signifiant impact on 19 Raytheon Technologies locations within the United States.
