Physical climate risk analytics for banks and insurers (flood, fire, heat risk to portfolios)

Problem areaFinance

The money is flowing in the wrong direction

10/13

The global financial system is fundamentally misaligned with climate goals. Trillions of dollars continue flowing toward fossil fuel projects and unsustainable practices, while clean energy and climate solutions struggle to access the capital they desperately need.

This isn't just about having enough money — it's about redirecting existing capital flows. Pension funds, banks, and investors manage over $400 trillion globally, but most of this wealth still supports the old economy. Meanwhile, developing countries face impossible borrowing costs for solar farms, and promising carbon removal technologies can't scale without patient capital.

The consequences compound daily. Every coal plant that gets financed instead of a wind farm, every loan that ignores flood risk, every greenwashed investment that crowds out genuine climate action — these financial decisions shape our physical future.

Problem

Climate risk isn't priced into loans, insurance, or investment decisions

3/5

Banks still lend to flood-prone properties at standard rates. Insurance companies struggle to price wildfire risk. Investment portfolios ignore the reality that some assets will become worthless as the world decarbonizes.

This mispricing creates dangerous bubbles and leaves everyone unprepared. When climate impacts hit, the financial system faces sudden, massive losses that could have been anticipated and managed.

Solution approach

1/5

Advanced modeling platforms that analyze how rising seas, extreme weather, and changing climate patterns will affect specific properties, infrastructure, and investment portfolios over time. These tools help financial institutions price risk accurately and avoid catastrophic losses.
