Asset-level and exposure data is a vital ingredient of risk and resilience analyses. It can also be one of the trickiest information gaps for financial institutions and others. Much asset-level data is proprietary creating a barrier to transparency and robustness in risk analysis. As a contribution to the Climate Financial Risk Forum’s Adaptation Working Group, the Resilient Planet Finance Lab developed a synthesis of some of the main open and proprietary sources of data.
The synthesis of data sources includes over 70 sources of asset-level data and 39 sources of vulnerability data, including their methodology. This database is constantly updated with new sources of information. We aim to assist financial institutions in identifying and evaluating relevant data sources for assessing climate risks. Asset managers can leverage this information to enhance risk assessments and inform investment decisions.
