Interactive Climate Change Map: For Classrooms & Research
Climate Impact Map visualizes IPCC-grounded climate projections on an interactive world map: sea level rise, heat domes, drought, extreme weather. Built for classrooms with NGSS-aligned curriculum and an AI lesson builder. Free to explore, $29.99 lifetime for individual Pro.
Launch the interactive map →Real IPCC data, made interactive
Climate projections are usually locked inside PDFs, research portals, or expensive specialist GIS tools. Climate Impact Map takes the same IPCC AR6 datasets, NOAA projections, and NASA sea-level modeling that underpin those reports and puts them on an interactive map anyone can navigate. Pick a scenario (SSP1-2.6 optimistic mitigation, SSP5-8.5 business-as-usual), pick a year (2030, 2050, 2100), and see what the data actually says for any location on Earth.
Built for the classroom
Climate education is underserved by the tooling most teachers actually have access to. Climate Impact Map is NGSS-aligned — the map supports specific cross-cutting concepts like MS-ESS3-5 (evidence for climate change) and HS-ESS3-5 (climate feedback systems) out of the box. The AI Lesson Builder generates classroom-ready lesson plans from any scenario you’re showing students. Classroom seat management lets teachers deploy it to a roster without per-student signup friction.
Every new signup gets a 7-day full Pro trial via webhook, so teachers can evaluate the classroom experience before committing to a subscription. Classroom Monthly runs $199.99, Classroom Annual $1,999, with District pricing on request for larger deployments.
Honest about uncertainty
Climate modeling comes with real uncertainty ranges, and good climate education teaches students to engage with that uncertainty rather than hide from it. Climate Impact Map shows IPCC confidence intervals where the underlying science has them, distinguishes observed from projected data with clear visual coding, and cites primary sources in popups. It’s not a “scary climate thermometer” — it’s a tool for thinking clearly about what the data says.
Frequently asked questions
What climate scenarios does the map cover?
Sea level rise (IPCC SSP1-2.6 through SSP5-8.5 scenarios, plus ice sheet collapse scenarios), extreme heat domes with historical events mapped (2021 Pacific Northwest, 2023 Texas, 2024 Mediterranean), drought indices, extreme weather frequency projections, and wildfire risk maps. All grounded in real IPCC and NOAA modeling.
Is this for teachers?
Yes — it's the primary audience. Climate Impact Map is NGSS-aligned for US classrooms (the cross-cutting concepts MS-ESS3-5 and HS-ESS3-5 are directly supported), includes an AI Lesson Builder that generates classroom-ready lessons from any scenario, and offers classroom seat management for schools. We have Classroom Monthly ($199.99) and Classroom Annual ($1,999) tiers built specifically for educators.
Can students use it?
Yes. The free tier is full-featured enough for individual student exploration. The Classroom tiers add seat management, trial access for evaluation, and lesson history. The 7-day trial on signup means teachers can evaluate the full Pro experience before committing.
Where does the climate data come from?
IPCC AR6 Working Group I datasets, NOAA climate projections, NASA sea-level rise datasets, and peer-reviewed regional modeling. We're careful to cite sources in popups and distinguish between observed data (past) and projected data (future) with clear uncertainty ranges where the underlying science has them.
What are the pricing options?
Individual Pro: $29.99 lifetime. Classroom Monthly: $199.99/mo. Classroom Annual: $1,999/yr. District tier available on request. Or get the SimulationMaps All-Access bundle ($79 lifetime) for individual Pro on Climate Impact Map plus every other map in the suite — a better value if you want personal access to everything.
$79 once. Every map. Forever.
Climate Impact Map individual Pro is $29.99 lifetime. For $49 more, get Pro on every map in the suite — disasters, volcanoes, asteroids, shipwrecks, UFOs — plus every new map we ship next. (Classroom tiers are separate and stay on the Climate Impact Map site.)
