Climate risk tools for financial markets
Flood risk information available for any climate scenario or
regulatory framework up to 2100
Climate change is already impacting business and the value of assets
As frequent and more severe flooding disrupts supply chains, damages property, swamps agricultural land and cuts off energy and transport networks, the risk associated with buying and selling assets will only increase.
The financial implications of climate change are immense, with climate risk being integrated into financial risk management frameworks.
However, increased regulation, external demand for transparency and the need to disclose climate risk requires a level of information that is often missing in ESG datasets.
Fathom can help.
Understand portfolio risk
Consider taking a holistic view of exposure by considering all the properties and assets in your portfolio. This means assessing both direct (asset-level) and indirect (outlying) flood risk.
Accurate pricing of assets
Make sure that the potential for climate-induced flooding is taken into consideration. This means having a clear understanding of the risk posed by floods and the likelihood of their occurrence in specific areas, as well as the costs associated with managing such events.
Pre-investment due diligence
Understand the potential impacts of floods on specific assets and their environment. This includes assessing the physical, economic, legal and reputational risks posed by flooding. The aim is to identify any areas that may be particularly vulnerable to climate-induced flooding and then design appropriate strategies to reduce exposure.
Respond to regulation
