When it comes to hazards like river flooding, knowing there’s a risk isn’t enough.
What really matters is understanding how likely it is and how bad it could be.
That’s where return periods make the difference.
A “100-year flood” doesn’t mean it happens once every century; it means there’s a 1% chance of it occurring in any given year.
If you only look at one return period, you’re missing the bigger picture.
Why multiple return periods matter:
By analyzing events from 10-year to 500-year return periods, you can:
- Distinguish between frequent, moderate events and rare, high-impact ones
- Plan and budget more effectively for resilience
- Make informed choices on insurance, investment, and asset management
Climatig’s approach: One score. Complete picture.
Unlike platforms that rely on a single return period, Climatig combines multiple return periods into a single, standardized flood risk score, from 0 to 100.
This enables:
• 🏢 Real estate & infrastructure teams to assess exposure more precisely
• 💰 Insurance & finance to perform robust stress testing
• 📋 ESG teams to generate scenario-based insights for compliance and reporting
Our methodology aligns with CSRD, ISSB, and other key standards, helping you meet evolving climate disclosure requirements with confidence.
