ClimateMAPS maps portfolio risk and opportunities using climate scenarios
The pace of change within our physical environment, regulatory and policy frameworks, technology and social paradigms is creating a progressively unpredictable world for companies, governments and communities alike. Along with the rest of the world, they will all be operating within an increasingly volatile environment.
For the financial sector, it is therefore becoming imperative that its key actors managing investment portfolios, including pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers and banks, understand and manage their exposure to climate and broader sustainability risks and opportunities. The dedicated regulatory push the world is witnessing across jurisdictions is further cementing this requirement. This extends beyond being just a compliance exercise, but aims to ensure climate and sustainability forms an integral part of investment and risk management strategies.

The solution is independent and distinctive, has comprehensive risk coverage and is customizable to client-specific assumptions. It can be widely utilized by financial institutions, ranging from investigating the financial impacts of different climate pathways to reporting to stakeholders in line with TCFD recommendations.
