Environment, Climate & Nature Solutions
Understand the intricate relationships between climate variables, biodiversity and environmental changes to build resilience and effective risk management strategies for your business operations.
Physical Risk is Financial Risk
Every small detail contributes to your sustainability big picture. Map your financial exposure to physical risks and transition climate risks and build resilience throughout your value chain with Essential Sustainability Intelligence.
Physical Risk Statistics
$25 Trillion Costs
The total cumulative cost of climate hazard exposure for S&P Global 1200 index constituents is projected to reach $25 trillion by 2050(opens in a new tab), under a climate change scenario (SSP2-4.5), absent adaptation.
58% Extreme Heat Costs
Extreme heat(opens in a new tab) will drive 58% of total cumulative cost of climate hazard exposure, which is estimated to reach $25 trillion by 2050s under a climate scenario SSP2-4.5.
35% With Adaptation Plan
Only 35% of the world’s largest companies have an adaptation plan(opens in a new tab) under a medium climate change scenario (SSP2-4.5).
Quantify Physical Risks
Our Physical Risk dataset provides asset and company-level physical risk exposure scores and financial impact metrics to help financial and non-financial organizations assess the impact of climate change on their portfolios, operational assets and supply chains. The dataset covers nine climate hazards, four scenarios and eight decades of metrics (2020s to 2090s) for over 21,000 companies and over 4,000,000 asset locations.
Financial Impact Assessment
Proprietary impact functions model the vulnerability of >250 unique asset types to the financial consequences of climate change hazards.
9 Climate Change Hazards
Extreme Heat, Extreme Cold, Coastal Flooding, Wildfire, Drought, Fluvial Flooding, Pluvial Flood, Tropical Cyclone and Water Stress
Advanced climate physical hazard modeling
Leveraging CMIP6 climate models and proprietary modeling techniques, and covering four future climate change scenarios: Low (SSP1-2.6), Medium (SSP2-4.5), Medium-High (SSP3-7.0) and High (SSP5-8.5)
Measure Environmental Impacts
The Trucost Environmental data measures environmental impact across key dimensions for over 20,000 companies. This data can be used to assess environmental costs, identify, and manage environmental and climate risk as well as conduct peer and portfolio analysis from a climate and environmental perspective.
Leverage Trucost Environmental data for ESG data integration, reporting on portfolio climate performance and exclusionary screening, and assessing portfolio for climate risk exposure.
This dataset provides:
- Carbon: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
- GHG Breakout
- Land, water, air pollutants, and waste disposal
- Natural resource and water use
- Revenue generated from each sector of a company's operations
- Fossil fuel reserves, power generation capacity and associated carbon metrics
