Assess Your Physical Risk Exposure

Climate Risk is Financial Risk

Climate change amplifies traditional financial risks like credit, market and operational risk, potentially leading to broader economic instability through significant losses and asset repricing. Mitigating financial losses tied to physical and transition risks remains a top priority of global institutions. While climate is often viewed exclusively through a risk-focused lens, our solutions offer perspectives on all elements of climate, including risk, opportunity, impact, compliance, and engagement.

Understanding the financial consequences of climate hazards: 2030s vs 2050s vs 2090s

Financial Impact by Sector

Physical climate risk financial impact exposure is not evenly distributed across sectors. Within the S&P Global 1200, companies in the Information Technology, Real Estate, and Communication Services sector are most likely to hold assets at high financial risk. However, exposure to high financial risk assets increases across all sectors between the 2050s and the 2090s.

The S&P Global Climanomics® Platform

The Climanomics platform was developed to provide you with a rigorous, bottom-up methodology to assess the potential financial impact of climate-related risks and embed these risks into global decision-making, helping investors and corporations lead their organizations confidently to a more resilient future.

One-Click Scenario Analysis

Climate scenario analysis provides actionable insights about potential future outcomes and is recommended by the TCFD for reporting purposes. A set of scenarios, Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), focus on projecting socioeconomic changes and when used alongside the RCPs capture both physical and socioeconomic factors. 

Science-Driven Insight

S&P Global Climanomics starts by utilizing publicly available raw climate data that may include information on factors such as temperature and precipitation. This is used by expert S&P Global scientists to build and refine their own climate models.

Assessment of Vulnerability

S&P Global Climanomics has a growing library of proprietary impact functions that model the vulnerability of 270+ different asset types to climate-related hazards, based on a wide range of factors specific to each one.  

Financial Loss Calculation

Assessments of hazards and of vulnerabilities are considered for each asset to estimate the average annual loss associated with climate risk to provide an informative evaluation of exposure.
