Alpha-Klima emerged from the vision of our finance experts who saw the opportunity at the intersection of climate change and traditional financial risk management.
There is an urgent demand for tools that can assess the financial implications of both physical and transition climate risks. The first concern the increasing frequency and severity of extreme climate events (or acute hazards), such as floods, storms or wildfires, as well as longer-term climate trends (chronic hazards), such as temperature changes, water scarcity of rising sea levels. While transition risks refer to those resulting from the challenges of navigating the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.
Anticipating the trend, we set out to build a platform that would provide customized climate risks assessments tailored to corporations and financial entities while conforming to regulatory expectations…
SOLUTIONS
Alpha-Klima is a cost-effective technology platform for climate risk assessment that is both auditable and transparent. Developed through open-source collaboration, we embrace open and scientific methodologies to address and quantify climate risk exposures of companies and financial institutions. The capabilities of the platform include:
CLIMATE RISK ASSESSMENT
QUANTITATIVE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
EX-ANTE EVALUATION OF ADAPTATION
Alpha-Klima leverages open-source collaboration by building on the OS-Climate initiative (now merged with FINOS) led by the Linux Foundation.
PHYSICAL RISK
Access our inventory of hazard datasets and vulnerability models and combine state-of-the-art climate science with open methodologies to determine your exposure to physical climate risk. Quantify this exposure over different time horizons and climate scenarios (IPCC, NFGS…), manage financial risk and disclose it.
HAZARD
EXPOSURE
VULNERABILITY
FINANCIAL RISK
TRANSITION RISK
We provide transition metrics aligned with the guidelines of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This includes identifying critical metrics, such as the implied temperature rise (ITR), and detailing both the methodologies and data sources necessary for this analysis. Our approach makes use of the Paris Agreement Capital Transition Assessment (PACTA) methodology to evaluate how investment portfolios align with low-carbon scenarios, ensuring that our clients can meet sustainability targets effectively.
