Purpose
This toolkit is intended to assist companies in understanding what types of data and information providers are available in undertaking physical climate risk assessment. This toolkit is primarily focused on U.S.-based information and features publicly available resources drawn from federal and academic sources. Several tools from private organizations that are well-used by both private and public stakeholders are also included. C2ES does not necessarily endorse the proprietary, private resources that incorporate publicly available government-provided data listed under the “Organizations and Providers” tab. This tool serves to generally identify further analysis resources for companies.
Methodology
This toolkit was assembled from web-searches of publicly available resources in 2022 and with feedback from companies during our 2021 project examining how they measure and assess their climate-related risks.
