Executive Summary
As physical climate risks become increasingly material, firms are using climate risk solutions for a broad range of activities. In addition to data that can feed into climate risk disclosures, they need information to support risk management and reduction. This report presents a benchmark of 19 climate risk vendors across four capability categories, focusing on innovation in decision-relevant use cases. Specifically, we assess vendors’ ability to support short- and long-term climate risk analysis, integrated risk management, and adaptation and resilience planning. Vendors can leverage this report to understand recent developments in the market and identify unmet needs requiring further innovation. Buyers of climate risk information can use the analysis to inform software purchasing decisions.
