It provides forward-looking analysis allowing to quantify the impact of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Net Zero Emissions by 2050 and Sustainable Development Scenario on a portfolio and company level.
Physical Risk Analysis
The ISS ESG climate Physical Risk assessment gives an investor a holistic overview of their exposure to physical climate risks and the financial materiality of that exposure, based on each company’s specific profile.
The assessment covers current and future risk exposure, (Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 8.5) to six of the costliest physical climate hazards: tropical cyclones, river floods, coastal floods, wildfires, heat stress and droughts.
