Insurers, banks, asset managers and decision-makers have to deal with the physical risks of climate. Think of storms, extreme drought, forest fires, rising sea level, heavy rain, flooding rivers, hurricanes and many more geological catastrophes that pose real risk to property and assets.

As such, insurance companies need to assess future climate risks for specific locations, and they must choose between two difficult options. Option one is to undertake the complicated and time-consuming task themselves, but it involves limited access to relevant climate datasets and maps. Option two is to outsource it to a third party, but their one-off report can be rather expensive, especially for large asset portfolios.

However, there is a third option and that is to enlist the help of insurtechs specialised in creating and offering climate risk prediction tools to help insurers more effectively manage their physical climate change risks and ensure compliance with Taxonomy and ESG disclose requirements.

Introducing the CLIMATIG platform, an insurtech that provides insurers with essential Climate Intelligence. Their software is offered as a service (SaaS), easy-to-use, plug-and-play and accessible via web application or API at any time, from any location and from any device. Their API allows for easy integration with existing architecture of major financial institutions.

CLIMATIG gives insurers more concrete insights into their increasing climate risks, so they can better understand how these risks affect their business. CLIMATIG currently offers data on eight distinct climate hazards with plans to expand to two in the near future. As a result, insurers can better assess the financial impact of these climate risks on their business and portfolio and then take appropriate measures to better manage climate risks. Moreover, CLIMATIG can help insurance companies develop risk management strategies and products tailored to climate risks.

What makes CLIMATIG stand out is their unique innovative algorithm, which combines historical data, satellite data and many unconventional approved datasets with future predictions to make corrections on climate model data and get better predictions up to the year 2100, with storytelling features suitable for better decision-making process. Their very own, self-developed learning models can link an asset’s future climate risks with its projected climate change costs. Furthermore, their datasets are created and trained internally via high-computing machine learning.

The CLIMATIG platform is used via user-friendly and easily accessible WEB Application and each B2B customer receives tailored Climate Intelligence via API.

How it works

To get reliable climate risk prediction, users can fill in an address or select a location on the map in the CLIMATIG platform. Then, they can choose the desired hazards, year in the future and then receive the results in a few seconds based on various climate scenarios as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

The powerful and intuitive managerial dashboard of the CLIMATIG platform offers real-time insights into climate risks at the portfolio level. This dashboard enables decision-makers to quickly identify locations with the highest risks and they can then take appropriate actions to mitigate potential losses.

Overall, the platform is built to be intuitive, user-friendly and offer comprehensive, extensive and reliable climate risk prediction for insurers, asset managers and property owners.
