Executive Summary
Physical climate risks are intensifying due to rising temperatures, threatening the infrastructure and physical assets on which businesses rely to maintain operations. Buyers of physical climate risk solutions are now demanding more than just dashboards and forecasts. The market is maturing as a result, with vendors developing platforms that offer near-real-time hazard forecasting, integrate more accurate infrastructure details into physical risk analysis, and operationalize adaptation strategies using financial and resilience metrics. This report benchmarks 11 physical climate risk solution providers across four core capability areas to help climate, financial and risk leaders identify solutions that align with their business objectives – whether those are more accurate hazard forecasting, investment prioritization or operational resilience. Buyers should use this report to guide their selection in a fragmented market; vendors can use it to sharpen their positioning and product development.
