Climate Risk

Home to some of the world’s most influential climate scientists, modellers, and physical risk experts including Dr Jesse Abrams, we are uniquely placed to provide analysis that helps you navigate the risks to your business in a changing climate.

Our influential reports raise awareness of physical climate risks (see Planetary Solvency), help sectors build resilience with scenario planning (see ‘No Time to Lose‘), and map future risks for specific sectors (see ‘Horizon companies report‘).

We can help you gain practical, next-level insight into risks such as:

  • Portfolio risks and scenario planning
  • Agriculture risk mapping and crop yields
  • Supply chain risks
  • Nature and biodiversity dependency
  • Transition risks for governments and financial institutions

Carbon footprinting and lifecycle assessments (LCA)

Our experts can quantify your current greenhouse gas emissions and forecast the impact of different carbon-cutting interventions.

Carbon accounting and Scope 3 mapping

By gaining a clear and comprehensive understanding of your climate footprint, you can confidently set emissions reduction targets, implement mitigation measures, and align your operations with climate goals and stakeholder expectations.

Life Cycle Assessment

In today’s environmentally conscious market, understanding the lifecycle impact of your products and services is crucial. Gain a competitive edge by partnering with our LCA consultants, who can help you identify areas for improvement, reduce resource consumption, and enhance sustainability, ensuring your offerings align with customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
