Case Study: NEC Corporation quantifies climate adaptation ROI for African agriculture with ClimateAi

NEC Corporation quantifies ROI for cocoa and rice adaptation with ClimateAi

NEC Corporation faced the challenge of quantifying the return on investment for climate change adaptation measures in agriculture, a significant barrier to securing funding for such projects. To address this, NEC partnered with vendor ClimateAi to leverage its climate forecasting technology and develop a data-driven model.

The solution implemented by ClimateAi combined its AI-powered climate intelligence with NEC's agricultural expertise to create a conceptual model. This tool quantifies the effectiveness and economic value of specific adaptation strategies, such as introducing irrigation or using new crop varieties. The model successfully provided a clear ROI for adaptation in cocoa and rice cultivation, enabling more confident investment decisions and receiving positive feedback from international organizations.
