Physical Climate Risk Management

The need to quantify and integrate physical climate risk exposures into asset-level decision making is greater than ever.

Physical assets in Asia — including property, agriculture, and infrastructure — are facing increasingly volatile extreme weather events in line with broader climate trends such as heatwaves and severe storms. It is estimated that by 2030, US$712 billion in urban property globally will be impacted annually by riverine and coastal flooding.^[1]

Companies with physical assets must accurately assess their risk exposures with an in-depth understanding of the risk drivers and implications to prioritise risk mitigation measures and implement a robust risk transfer program. 

In reality, however, companies often face challenges in selecting the right model and methodology for their business and industry and gathering the relevant and actionable insights they need from the assessment report.
