What if we could inspect a remote wildfire, survey a flood zone, or model a massive urban project from a desktop? According to global engineering software leader Bentley Systems, this is no longer a hypothetical question—it’s the new front line in the fight against climate change.

As the city of Belém prepares to host the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30), Bentley is showcasing how its 3D Geospatial technology is the crucial tool bridging the gap between climate threat and real-world resilience.

Traditional site inspections are slow, difficult, and costly, especially in vast regions like the Amazon. Bentley’s technology overcomes this by creating fully interactive 3D environments that bring entire cities to life.

For Belém, the COP30 host, this means a vivid 3D tour that illustrates how the city is attempting to balance climate adaptation, cultural heritage, and economic growth at the mouth of the Amazon River.

The impact of this digital approach is already being measured in massive savings. In the nearby city of Manaus, Bentley’s 3D modeling tools were instrumental in the immense Prosman+ urban resilience project. By creating a fully connected 3D environment, the project cut project time by 62% and saved approximately $7 million.

This success story is a prime example of how advanced geospatial software enables faster, smarter, and more sustainable urban planning.

The applications extend far beyond construction and city planning. Bentley’s ecosystem also includes global solutions for critical climate issues. For instance, FireSat, a program capable of detecting and tracking wildfire incidents globally, and Flood Hub, a system that utilizes AI and global hydrology to predict and mitigate flood risks.
