Climate Risk Data

Navigating the direct and indirect impacts of climate change is an imperative for multinational organisations if they are to build resilience to a heating world. The challenges are widespread: From exposure to climate hazards and their ‘cascading’ impacts, to responses to the energy transition and rising regulatory obligations, you need to demonstrate, convey, and instil confidence in the current and future performance of your business. This depends on effectively identifying, managing, and reporting on your climate risks – a complex task that needs accurate, credible, science-based data you can trust.

Our new Climate Risk Data provides organisations with a complete view of their global climate risk exposures. Created by our in-house team of climate scientists and based on the latest climate model projections, the Data features our new Climate Scenarios, which assess how climate hazards, such as heat, precipitation, drought, and sea level rise, will evolve over time across different emissions pathways. The new Data also includes global risk indices covering climate-related socio-economic vulnerabilities and an array of transition issues that deliver a full-spectrum approach to all your climate data needs.

As the physical threats of climate change advance so too do its secondary geopolitical, political, economic, and social impacts. With a portfolio of global risk data spanning 170+ issues and 198 countries, we are uniquely placed to help you track how these issues intersect with a changing environment and what they mean for your business.

The depth and breadth of the issues covered in the Climate Risk Data provides powerful, geospatial insights that help companies to:
