Unveiling CLIMATIG: Pioneering the Future of Physical Climate Risk Assessment

In an era marked by the escalating impacts of climate change, organizations are faced with a growing concern: the calculation of physical climate risk.

These risks, arising from climate-related events such as floods, storms, heatwaves, and wildfires, can wreak havoc on economies, ecosystems, and societies. It’s imperative for organizations to comprehend and manage these risks, not only to protect their financial stability but also to contribute to a sustainable future. This blog dives into the world of physical climate risk assessment and our revolutionary tool CLIMATIG which brings together cutting-edge technologies and innovative algorithms to offer unparalleled insights for informed decision-making.

Understanding the Calculation of Physical Climate Risk

Physical climate risks are the tangible outcomes of climate-related events, capable of causing significant financial losses and disruptions. These risks encompass both acute events, such as sudden storms and floods, and chronic changes like rising sea levels and prolonged heatwaves. To assess and manage these risks, a comprehensive physical risk assessment methodology is utilized. This methodology hinges on three core components: hazard, exposure, and vulnerability.
Hazard signifies the likelihood of climate change events occurring, exposure entails the degree to which a system or asset is exposed to these events, and vulnerability encapsulates the susceptibility of the asset to harm. When multiplied together, these components provide a quantifiable measure of physical risk. This methodology involves a sequence of steps, from defining the scope and setting objectives to data collection, scenario selection, impact measurement, and the eventual formulation of risk management strategies.

The Role of CLIMATIG in Revolutionizing Physical Climate Risk Assessment

CLIMATIG was recently added to the Climate Risk Tool Dashboard, as a part of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative’s (UNEP FI) Climate Risk and TCFD Programme.

There are multiple reasons why CLIMATIG is the right choice for you:

1. Innovative Algorithm and Data Integration
What sets CLIMATIG apart is its unique algorithm that merges historical data, satellite data, and unconventional datasets with future predictions. By making necessary corrections to climate model data, CLIMATIG enhances prediction accuracy for up to the year 2100. This predictive power is harnessed to calculate future climate change costs for individual assets, combining climate risk with market value, maintenance costs, and potential revenue.

2. Machine Learning for Precision
The incorporation of machine learning (ML) elevates CLIMATIG’s accuracy and versatility. ML models not only fill in missing climate data but also generate data for future periods based on historical observations. For instance, using ML alongside existing wildfire databases, CLIMATIG predicts the likelihood and severity of wildfires. This intersection of data-driven analytics and climate science is a game-changer.

3. High-Resolution Insights
CLIMATIG’s capabilities are amplified by high-resolution satellite and topography data. With resolutions down to 10 meters, these inputs enable the training of intricate models that paint a granular picture of climate risks. By combining regional climate models, satellite data, and historical reanalysis, CLIMATIG crafts its own prediction models for various hazards.

4. Continuous Improvement
Acknowledging the dynamic nature of climate science and technological advancements, CLIMATIG remains adaptable. Its results are continuously refined and updated, incorporating the latest climate predictions and data sources. This commitment to staying at the forefront of knowledge underscores CLIMATIG’s dedication to precision.
