The 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 time periods for over 73,000 companies and over 7,000,000 asset locations.

The dataset includes:

  • Company and asset level physical risk scores reflecting exposure to climate hazards across scenarios and time periods
  • Company and asset level financial impact metrics reflecting the value of financial costs/losses projected due to changing climate hazard exposure for a given asset, expressed as a percentage of the asset value (% metric). Or for companies, the weighted average financial impact for all assets linked to the company, weighted by asset type weights
  • Ten (10) physical risk hazards: Extreme Heat, Extreme Cold, Coastal Flooding, Wildfire, Drought, Fluvial Flooding, Pluvial Flood, Tropical Cyclone, Landslide 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)
  • Climate physical risk metrics for eight decades from the 2020s to the 2090s

The Physical Risk dataset gets updated Annually.
