Climate Scenarios & ESG

The financial and economic implications arising from climate change will directly impact investments in the short- and long-term. Financial institutions looking to assess and address these impacts can use climate scenario analysis to understand how different climate-related risks and opportunities could manifest and impact investment portfolios as the world enters an increasingly uncertain future.

ClimateMAPS - Ortec Finance’s award-winning climate scenario analysis solution, in partnership with Cambridge Econometrics, can help pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds and asset managers assess their portfolio’s climate risk exposure and quantify these risks, as well as opportunities, across 600+ financial and economic variables. The insights gained can be used to inform strategic asset allocation decisions, undertake stress-testing exercises and adhere to global TCFD, ISSB and other sustainability-related reporting frameworks.
