At a time when the beginning of the year was marked by the first major storm in north-west France, Predict takes a look back at 2024 through its climate risk barometer.
The past year has been marked by major climatic events, the impacts of which have raised questions about the vulnerability of our territories.
The Predict Services 2024 Barometer takes a look back at the major hydrometeorological risks in France and around the world, and highlights the challenges to be met in terms of anticipation and adaptation.
Predict Services provides day-to-day support to risk managers in France and abroad, analysing these phenomena and how they are changing, and drawing up an assessment of the climate risk phenomena that have affected territories.

On Wednesday 11 December, a team from the Kenya Space Agency, together with representatives from universities, start-ups and local companies, visited Montpellier as part of a study visit to Europe organised by Aerospace Valley.
The visit is part of a European project led by Expertise France called ‘Data Governance in Africa’, which aims to develop data policies centred on people and development at different scales in several African countries.
Predict Services welcomed this delegation with the aim of sharing and discussing the innovative methods, tools and solutions that have been deployed by local authorities, businesses and citizens for over 20 years in the management of hydrometeorological risks.
These discussions provided food for thought on potential collaborations.
Thunderstorms, intense rainfall, flooding… the events that have impacted our regions in recent months have once again highlighted the need to adapt to climatic risks.
At local level, there are a number of preventive measures in place to help identify and take appropriate action. For over 10 years, Groupama-Predict has been providing day-to-day support to local authorities in drawing up their Plans Communaux de Sauvegarde (PCS) and their DICRIM, and in providing real-time information in the event of risk.
At the Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales in Paris from November 19 to 21, Groupama-Predict engineers will be on hand to present the climate risk adaptation solutions included in your local authority insurance policy.

Since the end of September 2024, Predict has been supporting the Côte d’Ivoire authorities as part of the VIGICLIMM project (Projet de modernisation du système de vigilance, d’alerte, et de services climatiques et météorologiques aux usagers) and the PARU (Projet d’Assainissement et de Résilience Urbaine) urban sanitation and resilience project.
As part of the VIGICLIMM project, financed by the AFD – Agence Française de Développement, Predict is working alongside Météo France International (MFI) to strengthen the capacity of the Société d’exploitation et de développement aéroportuaire, aéronautique et météorologique (SODEXAM Côte d’Ivoire), helping it to modernize its vigilance, warning and climate and weather services to users.
Predict is also working with the Côte d’Ivoire authorities, with its partner BRL Ingénierie as part of the PARU project financed by the World Bank, to improve the Early Warning and Forecasting System (SPAP) aimed at protecting populations against the risk of flooding.
Over a two-week period, Predict worked with the Ivorian authorities to carry out an audit prior to the modernization of the country’s early warning and alert system, and to draw up the first Community Safety Plans (Plans Communaux de Sauvegarde – PCS) in Côte d’Ivoire, in order to design the preventive action plans needed for effective, operational management of the flood risks affecting the autonomous district of Abidjan.
