Product Requirements Document

Product Name
AI Climate Policy Copilot


Overview

AI Climate Policy Copilot is an interactive web platform that allows users to simulate the environmental impact of climate policies in real time.

Users can modify policy variables such as renewable energy adoption, carbon taxes, deforestation reduction, and methane mitigation while the system visualizes environmental outcomes like global temperature change, emissions levels, and sea level rise.

The system combines climate data, simulation logic, AI reasoning, and 3D visualization to help users understand the consequences of sustainability strategies.


Problem

Climate policy decisions are complex and difficult to visualize.

Policy makers, researchers, and citizens often struggle to understand how different environmental strategies influence global climate outcomes.

Most climate reports are static and difficult for non-experts to interpret.

There is a need for interactive tools that allow people to explore sustainability strategies dynamically.


Vision

Create an AI-powered simulation platform that allows users to explore climate policy decisions and instantly understand their environmental impact.

The system acts as a decision-support tool for sustainability planning.


Target Users

Primary Users

Policy researchers
Students studying climate science
Environmental organizations

Secondary Users

Educators
Journalists
Citizens interested in climate policy


Core Features

Policy Simulation Controls

Users can adjust policy variables such as

• Carbon tax levels
• Renewable energy adoption
• Deforestation reduction
• Methane emission reduction
• Electric vehicle adoption


Climate Impact Metrics

The system calculates and visualizes

• Global temperature rise
• CO2 concentration
• Emissions trajectory
• Sea level rise

Metrics update dynamically when policies change.


3D Planet Visualization

A 3D Earth visualization displays environmental changes including

• warming heatmaps
• emissions visualization
• deforestation changes


AI Climate Advisor

An AI system analyzes simulation results and explains the environmental consequences of policy combinations.

Example output

"Reducing deforestation significantly increases carbon absorption, which slows atmospheric CO2 accumulation."


Sustainability Goal Mode

Users can set sustainability targets such as

Limit warming to 1.5°C

or

Reach net zero emissions by 2050.

The AI system suggests policy strategies to achieve the goal.


MVP Scope

The MVP will include

Policy control sliders
Basic climate simulation model
3D Earth visualization
Real-time metric updates
AI explanation of results


Out of Scope (Hackathon Version)

Advanced climate models
Full global datasets
Long-term forecasting models


Success Metrics

A successful project should

Provide a working simulation interface
Demonstrate clear AI-generated explanations
Offer an interactive visual experience
Communicate sustainability insights clearly


Demo Scenario

User opens the platform.

The Earth visualization appears with climate metrics.

The user increases renewable adoption and reduces deforestation.

The simulation updates:

Temperature projections drop.

The AI advisor explains why the change reduces warming.


Long Term Vision

In the future the platform could support

City-level climate planning
Economic cost simulations
Disaster risk predictions
Climate migration modeling

The long-term goal is to create an AI-powered sustainability planning platform.
