CosmosClimae

CosmosClimae is a Montpellier-based climate risk consultancy that turns climate science into practical decisions for sport, local authorities and businesses. Founded by climatologist and hydrologist Dimitri Defrance, the organisation applies research and climate data to help clients manage immediate weather risks and prepare for future conditions.

Its services include heat alerts and a club app, event monitoring, heat training, site and event diagnostics, exposure audits, adaptation plans, dashboards and data services. For local authorities, CosmosClimae supports vulnerability assessments and the adaptation component of climate plans; for businesses, it addresses physical climate risks at sites and heat exposure for outdoor workers. Its work also serves sports federations, clubs, event organisers and venue managers, with methods extending to tourism, agriculture, hiking and the equine sector.

The free climae.io platform provides heat forecasts, historical local climate, projections to 2050 and 2100, and information for major sporting events. CosmosClimae assesses conditions using indicators such as WBGT, Heat Index, hot nights, heavy rainfall and fire weather, helping clients adapt schedules, locations, protocols and long-term plans.
