EarthScan leverages advanced data modeling, machine learning, and cutting-edge climate science to provide businesses with a customized analysis of the climate risks threatening their assets. This innovative platform offers on-demand climate risk analysis, enabling users to gain critical insights into risks such as flooding, drought, and extreme temperatures within seconds. By utilizing EarthScan, businesses can meet disclosure requirements, analyze present and future locations in their value chain, and make informed investment decisions with just three clicks.
The process begins with onboarding, where users upload a CSV file containing a list of their assets' locations. From there, they can select any asset to view insights at a glance or delve deeper into detailed analyses. EarthScan allows users to understand their exposure to climate risk at both the asset and portfolio levels. Additionally, the platform facilitates the generation of reports on specific insights for stakeholders, including downloadable TCFD or EU-aligned reports for regulatory disclosure.
EarthScan's features include global coverage, offering a globally-consistent, standardized methodology for diving into climate hazard probabilities anywhere on the planet. It provides multiple time horizons and climate scenarios, with baseline insights from 1970 to 2100 in 5-year increments across three different scenarios. The platform boasts up to 90 meters resolution across risk categories, enabling users to understand how climate hazards could intensify at spatial resolutions applicable to each hazard. It covers seven climate-related risk categories across acute and chronic hazards, including heat stress, drought, wildfire, flooding (coastal and riverine), extreme wind, and precipitation.
Asset and portfolio-level insights are a key feature, allowing users to calculate their Climate Value at Risk for their portfolio of assets. EarthScan is used by companies in real estate, asset management, retail, and manufacturing to gain insight into their individual exposure to climate risk and to stay compliant with regulatory reporting requirements. The platform simplifies regulatory reporting, enabling users to meet TCFD reporting disclosure requirements in a few clicks and prepare for EU taxonomy reporting obligations.
EarthScan also supports due diligence analysis, allowing users to analyze climate risk across asset classes in their portfolio, inform investment decisions, and get a full view of their climate risk when planning new sites and onboarding subsidiaries and suppliers. The platform is powered by best-in-class datasets, including selected CMPI6 model data, CORDEX, ERA5, and NASA GDDP, and offers three different climate scenarios: business as usual, Paris-aligned, and emissions peak in 2040.
With 500 million pre-mapped assets plus the ability to add your own, EarthScan delivers combined physical risk scores across categories, Climate Value at Risk for your total asset portfolio, and TCFD and EU taxonomy framework-aligned reporting. Customizable reports on specific insights, analysis exports including charts, texts, and citations, and detailed flood analysis and custom Climate Value at Risk (available as add-ons) are designed for sharing.
EarthScan's impact is demonstrated through case studies, such as its partnership with Arjun Infrastructure Partners, a London-based investment manager with USD 6 Bn of Assets under Management. They use EarthScan to embed climate risk assessment into pre-transaction due diligence, stay compliant with TCFD/ISSB/EU Taxonomy regulatory disclosures, and mitigate the impact of climate change on the value of their managed assets.
EarthScan is available via Microsoft AppSource and partners with consultancy firms to make its platform accessible to clients across geographies and sectors. By partnering with EarthScan, consultants gain access to a self-serve platform that can quickly scan the climate risk exposure of large portfolios of third-party assets, delivering value as part of a wider ESG engagement on Net Zero and transition risk.
