The Physical Climate Risk Dashboard helps companies identify their physical risk exposure across their assets, portfolios, strategies, and operations using up-to-date climate science.
Our platform, designed in collaboration with Jupiter Intelligence, provides insights to help assess and manage climate-related risks and opportunities and inform key stakeholders of resilience under different scenarios.
Beyond our eight key physical climate perils, the Physical Climate Risk Dashboard supports scenario analysis for risk management and regulatory disclosures such as the TCFD and future SEC requirements. The Dashboard also provides invaluable forward-looking data through 2100 and across multiple warming scenarios, as well as asset-level spatial resolution capabilities up to 1 meter, ideal for real estate development, logistics, risk engineering, safety and operations, underwriting, and capital planning.
