ClimateView AB is a Swedish climate technology company that develops software for public-sector climate transition planning. Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, the company was founded in 2018 by Tomer Shalit and Einar Bodström. The ClimateView Platform is used by cities, regions, and public-sector institutions to build greenhouse gas emissions inventories, model decarbonisation pathways, manage climate actions, track implementation progress, support reporting, and communicate transition plans to stakeholders.

The platform is deployed across Europe and North America, including through a national programme covering all 32 Scottish local authorities delivered by the Scottish Climate Intelligence Service,"ClimateView Platform". Scottish Climate Intelligence Service. Retrieved 30 June 2026. and through a strategic partnership with ICLEI USA."ICLEI USA and ClimateView Launch a Strategic Partnership to Transform Climate Action for U.S. Subnational Governments". ICLEI USA. 24 September 2024. Retrieved 30 June 2026. ClimateView also develops the open-source Transition Elements Framework, a structured approach for organising IPCC climate mitigation knowledge into standardised building blocks for governments. The company contributed to the development of DIN SPEC 91637, a standard for measuring the impact of climate protection measures published by DIN (German Institute for Standardization) in August 2025."New standard for the "Impact measurement of measures for municipal, regional and national climate protection"". DIN. 26 August 2025. Retrieved 30 June 2026.

History

ClimateView was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2018 by Tomer Shalit and Einar Bodström to develop digital tools for climate transition planning and implementation.

In June 2023, ClimateView raised €14 million in a funding round to support development of its climate finance platform and climate investment planning tools for cities.Alston, Fiona (13 June 2023). "Sweden's ClimateView raises €14 million to enhance climate action plans in cities". Tech.eu. Retrieved 30 June 2026. The round was led by 2050 and included CommerzVentures, NordicNinja VC, SEB Greentech VC, Norrsken VC, 115K, Sandwater, and Polar Structure.At the time, the platform, then known as ClimateOS, was used in more than 30 cities, including Madrid, Dortmund, Cincinnati, and Nottingham.

In September 2024, ICLEI USA and ClimateView formalised a strategic partnership at Climate Week NYC to support U.S. cities, towns, regions, and tribal nations in climate action planning, investment, and implementation.At the time of the announcement, ClimateView's platform was in use by more than 135 cities across nine countries in Europe and North America. In 2026, it is in use in over 330 cities.

Maxime Leroux became Chief Executive Officer in January 2025.

ClimateView Platform

The ClimateView Platform is a cloud-based software system designed for public-sector climate planning. It supports the preparation of GPC-compliant greenhouse gas emissions inventories, the modelling of decarbonisation pathways, the management of climate actions and policies, and the communication of progress through publicly accessible dashboards.Lonergan, K.E.; Köll, J.F.; Sansavini, G. (2025). "Model-based Climate Action Plans for ambitious local emissions reduction: A project-focused approach". Urban Climate. 61: 102452.Bras, A.; Gkantou, M.; Iris, Ç.; Smith, K.; Kythreotou, L.; Chandler, H. (2026). "Briefing: Realising Net Zero Liverpool: a state-of-the-art urban decarbonisation initiative". Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers – Civil Engineering. Emerald Publishing Limited: 1–5. The platform supports reporting to international frameworks including the CDP, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The platform is structured around four sequential stages of a climate transition: establishing an emissions baseline and existing commitments (Foundation); exploring and modelling decarbonisation strategies using the Transition Elements Framework as building blocks (Strategy); managing policies, projects, and climate initiatives in relation to the overall plan (Action); and monitoring and visualising progress and emissions data (Progress).

Municipalities use the platform both as an internal planning tool across departments and as a public communication platform. Cities can choose to publish dashboards showing emissions data, sectoral targets, climate actions, and implementation progress for citizens and external stakeholders.Colona, F. (2023). "Climate governance by numerical data: The kaleidoscopic political space of a decarbonization dashboard". Geoforum. 144: 103801. The Scottish Climate Intelligence Service describes the platform as supporting local authorities to move existing climate action plans online, design and improve area-wide emissions reduction programmes, and compare progress across local authorities.

The platform also includes an energy modelling module that forecasts future electricity and district heat demand under different transition scenarios, and economic scenario tools that quantify the costs and potential returns of transition strategies to support the development of climate investment plans.

ClearPath 2.0

ClearPath 2.0 is a climate planning platform for U.S. subnational governments developed by ClimateView and ICLEI USA through their strategic partnership, building on ICLEI USA's longstanding ClearPath platform. ICLEI USA describes ClearPath 2.0 as integrating ClimateView's technology with ICLEI USA's deep technical expertise and network of subnational governments, designed to equip local and regional governments with the tools to achieve ambitious climate goals.

Transition Elements Framework

The Transition Elements Framework (TEF) is an open-source framework that structures climate mitigation actions into standardised elements and indicators, based on knowledge from IPCC assessment reports. The framework translates IPCC mitigation options into comparable building blocks that governments can use to model, track, and compare decarbonisation progress across sectors including mobility, energy, buildings, and industry.

The framework is organised around three components: a Mitigation Compendium drawing on IPCC mitigation options; Transition Elements that break each option into structured components representing the shifts required in each sector, with associated indicators; and methodological white papers and documentation.McIntosh, O.B.; Burnett, A.; Feldman, I.; Lamphere, J.A.; Reuter, T.A.; Vital, E. (2023). "The role of sustainability knowledge-action platforms in advancing multi-stakeholder engagement on sustainability". Data & Policy. 5: e33.

The Scottish Climate Intelligence Service states that the ClimateView Platform and the Transition Elements Framework together form the basis of its approach, providing a standardised method for defining activity shifts, logging interventions, tracking impacts, and comparing progress across local authorities.This consistent, collaborative model is designed to ensure that all 32 Scottish local authorities contribute to Scotland's net-zero goal.

In March 2026, ICLEI, ClimateView, and United Nations University co-delivered a capacity-building workshop for the Kaohsiung-ICLEI Climate Neutral and Smart City Community of Practice, held on 18–19 March at Kaohsiung's Net Zero Institute. Ten cities from across Asia-Pacific and North America participated. According to ICLEI, participating cities used ClimateView's Transition Elements Framework to map climate priorities, compare approaches, identify gaps, and connect climate targets with interventions, financing needs, and community priorities.Salehi, Pourya; Cormack, Liz (12 May 2026). "How cities are moving from climate plans to real transition pathways: Insights from the Kaohsiung-ICLEI Community of Practice". CityTalk, ICLEI. Retrieved 30 June 2026.

Outcome Logic and DIN SPEC 91637

A core component associated with the Transition Elements Framework is an outcome logic that links climate interventions to measurable results through five levels: interventions alter the attributes of a community or place; changed attributes influence people's perception and lead to behavioural changes; behavioural changes drive activity shifts from high- to low-carbon activities; and activity shifts produce ecological, economic, and social outcomes.Burnett, A. (2022). Incentivising 'Regenerative Value' to Improve Sustainability Outcomes (Report). Transformative Metrics.

In August 2025, DIN published DIN SPEC 91637, titled Impact measurement of measures for municipal, regional and national climate protection. The standard was developed by a consortium of municipal representatives, energy agencies, research institutes, and private companies.

DIN describes the specification as providing a standardised approach for measuring the effectiveness of climate protection measures at municipal, regional, and national levels, enabling the development of comparable transformation plans, structured data-supported exchange between administrations, and more reliable evaluation of climate measures.The standard is aimed primarily at the public sector, including municipalities, regions, federal states, and national governments, as well as stakeholders advising them on climate mitigation planning, implementation, monitoring, and financing. DIN SPEC 91637 is available as a free download in English and German from the DIN Media website.
