TomorrowNow at The Earthshot Prize Event in Cape Town

TomorrowNow joins The Earthshot Prize 2024 Event in South Africa to Advocate for weather tech-enabled climate innovation...

Cape Town, South Africa – tomorrownow.org is thrilled to announce our participation in The Earthshot Prize event this week in Cape Town, South Africa!

Representing our organization is Philip Frost, Director of Climate Resilience, who is passionate about fostering innovative solutions to build climate resilience for communities worldwide.

Aligning Missions: Fixing Our Climate

The Earthshot Prize’s mission to “Fix Our Climate” resonates deeply with TomorrowNow’s commitment to operationalizing localized weather services for farmers and food system stakeholders. By leveraging reliable, actionable weather data, we empower smallholder farmers to adapt to climate change, thrive in uncertain conditions, and build resilient communities.

Philip Frost expressed his enthusiasm for this global gathering of change makers:

“At TomorrowNow, we believe collaboration is the cornerstone of meaningful climate action. This event offers an incredible opportunity to connect, share insights, and advance solutions to ensure farmers and food systems everywhere can weather the impacts of a changing climate.”

Why Weather Matters for Climate-Smart Solutions

Weather solutions are not just about forecasts— they are a transformative tool for enabling sustainable, climate-smart agriculture. As the climate crisis continues to reshape farming systems, localized weather intelligence can help communities:

  • Anticipate and adapt to extreme weather events.
  • Optimize crop planting, irrigation, and pest control practices.
  • Build resilience against climate-related risks.

TomorrowNow has made significant progress toward this goal through innovative partnerships, such as our collaboration with Tomorrow.io and the Kenya Agricultural & Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) which allows us to deliver weather services to the last mile.

Scaling Impact for 2030

Our 2030 vision is ambitious yet essential: to empower 100 million people across Africa with next-generation weather solutions, unlocking over $7 billion in community-level value. This commitment reflects our dedication to leveraging cutting-edge technology and collaborative partnerships to achieve rapid scale and sustained impact.

Let’s Collaborate for Resilient Food Systems

TomorrowNow’s participation in The Earthshot Prize event underscores our belief in the power of collaboration. By integrating localized weather insights into climate-smart initiatives, we can create systems transformation that benefits farmers and food systems globally.

If you’re attending the event, we’d love to connect and explore how we can work together to achieve meaningful, scalable climate resilience.
