Climate risk assessment & reporting
Advancing TCFD-related physical risk disclosures
The growing impacts of climate change and the proliferation of mandatory climate disclosure regulations and voluntary reporting standards mean the need for robust, science-based climate risk data has never been so great. Our Climate Scenarios data enable companies and financial institutions to undertake rigorous global assessments of their current and future physical risk exposures, simplify the reporting process and align with the recommendations of the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards.
Using the latest scientific data, our new Climate Scenarios dataset covers 16 physical climate risks across seven time periods, three emissions pathways and 198 countries at subnational levels. They provide accurate, geospatial risk insights into the exposure of global operations, supply chains, assets, and portfolios for issues ranging from extreme temperatures and precipitation to drought and sea level rise.
With concern growing over the potential of climate-related risks to impact the resilience of business, asset values, portfolio returns, and even the stability of financial systems, organisations must underpin their risk assessments, scenario analyses and disclosures with credible data and metrics. With over 15 years’ experience quantifying environmental risks and an international reputation as a leader in global risk, our Climate Scenarios can provide the assurance regulators and stakeholders need that your organisation is taking steps to safeguard against future risks.
Who is it for?
-
Corporations
Our integrated data solutions are tailored to help organisations meet evolving disclosure requirements, especially the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) - a prominent reporting standard for many businesses who will need to apply the new rules in the 2024 financial year
-
Investors, banks, and insurers
Disclosure of climate risk impacts on assets and portfolios is no longer optional. We can help you meet and exceed client’s and regulators’ expectations over transparency and commitments to managing climate risks

Climate scenarios
Climate scenarios
Part of our wider Climate Risk Dataset, the Climate Scenarios feature over 300 subnational risk indices enabling organisations to understand their exposure to physical climate hazards and how this may evolve over time. The scenarios can be combined with locational data on operations and suppliers via our GRiD platform or you can access them through API to integrate within internal risk systems
