Tailored Climate and Sustainability Risk Assessments

Public entities play an important role in country/government-wide strategies to deliver on global commitments and to contribute to a resilient future. Through our insights we can help you quantify physical and transition risks related to climate change as a pre-requisite to understand and manage them.

Our tailored risk assessments offer you a new and unique way to translate resilience related risks into actionable insights. With access to climate risk scenarios up to 2080 our inputs can help you evaluate potential financial impacts and track progress against goals.

Disaster Risk Management Platforms

Boost your resilience against disaster risk shocks with our Disaster Risk Management Platforms. To empower more robust, better coordinated, and faster decision-making, we apply our deep risk knowledge and insights at three critical moments of preparedness: Pre-disaster preparation, rapid reaction during catastrophic events, and effective post-disaster response. A bespoke adaptation of Swiss Re’s digital geospatial platform modules responds to the specific circumstances of our public sector partners and can be flexibly scaled up and adapted as stakeholder groups expand. Throughout the process, we emphasise data security and infrastructure integrity in the respect of local protocols and legal requirements.

Rapid Damage Assessment

Rapid Damage Assessment (RDA) is an intuitive platform for catastrophe claims managers and loss adjustors to help them make faster and smarter claims decisions during a natural catastrophe event. RDA provides pre and post catastrophe damage insights using hazard models and artificial intelligence on aerial imagery to draw conclusions, make predictions, and assist in decision-making.

Tailored sustainability risk assessment Transition Risk Assessment for Energy Projects

A key objective for Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) is to ensure that the energy projects they support comply with the requirements of, for example, the Paris Agreement. Although the mandate is clear, gathering and assessing the data from the ground-up is difficult and time-consuming. Moreover, there is also a need to have knowledge about country-specific climate commitments and scenarios. Leveraging Swiss Re's expertise on climate and sustainability as well as analytics capabilities, we can support ECAs in transition risk assessments for energy projects, providing them with access to a global source of climate and energy data, including a proprietary CO2 emissions model. Detailed reports can also be delivered for each assessed project, looking into the CO2 emission profile of the project as well as the alignment with a country’s emission targets. For an ECA, domiciled in Europe, we conducted a transition risk assessment, assessing seven key energy projects and analysing a total of 42 scenarios – with the entire analysis and all reports completed within one month.
