Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has expanded its geospatial analytics platform with the launch of the ICE Global Climate Risk Solution, providing institutional investors with advanced, scenario-aligned climate risk data to inform investment and regulatory decisions.
The platform now covers over 20,000 corporates and sovereigns, as well as 3 million building-level asset locations, with plans to expand this coverage to 9 million. The solution offers detailed exposure assessments to eight key physical climate hazards, including wildfires, floods, and hurricanes, and combines both physical and transition risks, such as emissions footprints and climate targets.
“We’re excited to bring our advanced geospatial and climate analytics to a wider global audience, helping investors understand where and how climate risks could impact their financial investments,” said Larry Lawrence, Head of ICE Climate.
The platform integrates data from 1.6 billion structures globally, providing high-resolution insights for investors to evaluate risks at the asset level. These insights are designed to enhance transparency, allowing investors to better understand the risks and opportunities within their portfolios.
In addition, the platform’s Hazard Watch feature enables real-time monitoring of emerging risks, helping investors stay ahead of climate-related financial challenges. This functionality is crucial for investment strategy, asset valuation, and ensuring compliance with growing regulatory frameworks for climate disclosures.
ICE’s ongoing investment in climate risk data and analytics further establishes its leadership in providing financial tools that link environmental risks to asset-level financial decision-making, driving the transition to a more sustainable financial landscape.
