Managing the physical risks of climate change, such as extreme flooding, wildfire weather and hurricanes, means identifying those risks mostly likely to impact your business, your supply chain partners and your customers.

Effective physical climate risk management also demands you can quantify these exposures. With accurate climate risk quantification comes more effective and efficient mitigation and adaption strategies, which deliver business value while enabling compliance with evolving climate reporting obligations.

How Climate Diagnostic helps you find a smarter way to physical climate risk management – Key features

Climate Diagnostic offers wide-ranging functionalities and flexible features:

  • Shows the exposure to acute physical climate risks (those arising from changes in event-driven hazards, such as hurricanes and extreme flooding) and chronic physical climate risks (those driven by longer-term shifts in climate patterns, such as heat stress, sea-level rise, precipitation and wildfire weather) under multiple climate scenarios
  • Assess both acute and chronic climate risks over shorter and longer-term views, evaluating your global exposures over time horizons to 2030, 2050 and to 2100
  • Explore risks via an atlas of interactive maps to see climate risk projections for your locations and individual assets across the globe, with physical climate risk scorecards at location level, comparing current versus future climate risk by asset location as required
  • Adapt your climate view by both by time horizon and by climate scenario to project your exposure for the latest Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP/RCP) 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5, the scientific standard climate projection scenarios, based on greenhouse gas concentration
  • Generate executive summaries and dynamic risk dashboards, plus downloadable reports, making it easier to articulate and agree on climate risk management priorities with multiple stakeholders
  • Available via WTW’s Risk IQ platform, giving you climate risk analytics directly and on-demand.

How can you use Climate Diagnostic to meet climate risk reporting requirements?

Many organizations are facing challenges defining their climate risk priorities from the multitude of issues and evolving climate-related financial disclosures.

To support you in meeting your climate reporting obligations, as well as take a deeper dive deeper into specific hazards and resulting exposures, you can use data from Climate Diagnostic to generate reporting summaries at an aggregate level, or break down your view out by exposed value, number of assets, region, time projection and by acute and chronic climate risks.

In this way, Climate Diagnostic can help you meet climate risk reporting obligations, such as:

  • International Financial Reporting Standards Standard 1 (IFRS S1) and International Financial Reporting Standards Standard 2 (IFRS S2)
  • The Financial Stability Board (FSB)’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
  • The proposed Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) climate proposal to standardize climate-related disclosures for investors in the US
  • For the EU, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) alongside the EU Taxonomy common classification scheme for sustainable economic activities.

You can also take greater ownership control of your physical climate change risk and how to strategically manage them by combining our advanced models and data with our industry expertise through climate risk consulting.
