Summary
The summer of 2022 will mark history with multiple ‘500-year’ heatwaves, droughts and wildfires recorded from Alaska to continental Europe. While these events have helped to sharpen focus on the perils of climate change in public consciousness, they have also served to highlight the systemic risks to regional economies and global supply chains, as well as the breadth and depth of impact we may expect.
If such events are possible in a +1.1°C world, what should we prepare for on a +3°C end-of century risk horizon?
To navigate these challenges, it is critical that market participants access robust climate modelling tools to understand their exposures and inform decisive mitigation and adaptation strategies. But climate physical risk scenario analysis is no easy challenge, requiring the overlay of climate models, geospatial data, ownership mapping and vulnerability pathways to develop actionable financial impact analysis.
During this webinar, we will explore practical approaches to climate physical risk scenario analysis including:
- What latest generation climate models cover and what insight they provide
- The importance of geospatial data and how to leverage proprietary and third-party asset data
- How robust ownership mapping can support decision making across the financial value chain, from assets to large portfolios
- How the financial impact of climate physical risk can be quantified
- What technology options are available to transform large volumes of data into actionable insight
