Climate and environment news, every weekday
The climate and environment news each weekday, on a map, in a short brief.
What it does
Every weekday at 7:30: the science and environment news read by xMap AI for climate, pollution, nature, water and clean energy stories, each placed on the map where it happens, the new ones only, in a short brief for the sustainability team.
In one sentence: Mon–Fri at 07:30, read a news feed for news about climate change, pollution, nature and wildlife, water, waste or clean energy, keep only new ones, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
Sustainability teams are asked about every new rule, spill and record heat. A short brief each morning means they have read it before the question comes.
Who it is for

The time it saves
Mon–Fri at 07:30. Doing the same work by hand takes about 30 minutes each time; it runs about 21 times a month, so it saves about 11 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
