Jupiter Intelligence Introduces New Tools Helping Financial Institutions Evaluate Climate-Related Perils for Investment Decisions
Jupiter Intelligence, a leading provider of climate risk solutions, has announced significant updates to its ClimateScore Global platform. The new features aim to empower financial institutions in quantifying and responding to physical climate risks with greater precision and confidence.
The updates include four major enhancements:
- Jupiter Adaptation Hub: This capability allows for the quantification of avoided losses and calculates the return on investment (ROI) across over ten adaptation strategies. It shifts institutions from merely being aware of climate risks to taking actionable steps with defensible data on costs, effectiveness, and returns for adaptation measures.
- Jupiter Entity Modeling: This feature provides detailed climate risk insights across a variety of entities, including securities, funds, corporates, and investment vehicles. This enables institutions to gain competitive visibility and make strategic decisions at different portfolio or corporate entity levels.
- Jupiter MetricEngine: Offering dynamic, scenario-specific climate model outputs, MetricEngine supports simulation of synthetic weather years for specific applications like crop modeling or regional drought assessments. This enhances precision in risk quantification.
- Subsidence Peril Metric: Modelling structural risks caused by soil moisture fluctuations in clay-rich soils, Subsidence Peril Metric estimates average annual damage based on foundation types and construction materials. This broadens peril coverage to include less commonly quantified physical risks affecting infrastructure.
Together, these features transform climate risk analytics by providing financial institutions with:
- Investment-grade, scientifically validated, and MRM-validated data integrated within enterprise risk management frameworks.
- Tools to move from risk awareness to actionable, financially justified adaptation investment.
- Precise, entity-level risk insights that inform portfolio management, regulatory compliance, and capital strategy.
- Deep peril coverage and advanced analytics to better anticipate, quantify, and mitigate physical climate impacts.
With these new capabilities, banks, asset managers, and institutional investors can make faster, clearer, and more confident climate-informed capital decisions that meet the scrutiny of investment committees, regulators, and boards. The platform also includes Jupiter MetricEngine, which provides quant teams and risk officers with scenario-specific model outputs.
The new capabilities on the ClimateScore platform are intended to meet the growing demand for climate risk quantification and modeling. Launched in 2020, the ClimateScore platform was designed to enable financial institutions to understand and respond to physical climate risks. These updates are part of Jupiter Intelligence's commitment to helping customers respond to the increasing need for climate risk management.
As climate change accelerates and intensifies the damage and financial impact of severe weather events globally, these tools are expected to play a crucial role in helping customers make informed decisions about climate risk and resilience investments. By leading the way in climate-informed decision-making, Jupiter Intelligence aims to help its customers lead their sectors.
- Leveraging the Jupiter Intelligence ClimateScore Global platform's updates, financial institutions can now receive investment-grade climate data, validated by both science and MRM, to integrate within their enterprise risk management frameworks.
- The updated platform empowers banks, asset managers, and institutional investors to transition from merely being aware of climate risks to making actionable, finance-justified adaptation investments, thanks to tools like the Jupiter Adaptation Hub.
- With enhanced peril coverage and advanced analytics provided by features such as the Subsidence Peril Metric and Jupiter MetricEngine, institutions can better anticipate, quantify, and mitigate physical climate impacts, thereby making informed climate risk and resilience investments.
