The Problem
Cities are under pressure to reduce emissions, manage climate risk, and modernize infrastructure, yet capital planning systems rarely integrate climate modeling or resilience metrics.
Most cities rely on one-off consulting studies that sit outside the budget process.
Climate strategy and capital budgeting remain disconnected.
The CSI Platform — CAPimpact
A Living System, Not a One-Off Study
Designed for finance departments, sustainability offices, public works, and city managers
CSI enables cities to:
Assess climate impact across 100% of capital initiatives
Model mitigation and resilience scenarios
Optimize capital investments for long-term performance
Track progress year over year
Produce transparent reporting for stakeholders
How It Works
CSI extracts climate benefit from business-as-usual capital spending — aligning dollars with outcomes without rebuilding systems from scratch
