Carbon Data & Transition Risks

Carbon Data Transition Risks

Our Carbon Impact Analytics (CIA) methodology offers a comprehensive approach to assessing how well companies and sovereign entities align with the transition to a low-carbon economy. CIA measures carbon performance across asset classes like equity, debt, and green bonds and aggregates results at the portfolio level. With a comprehensive database of carbon footprints, CIA enables financial institutions to assess transition risks, support sustainable investment decisions, and align with climate goals.

Physical Risks

Physical Risks

Climate Risk Impact Screening (CRIS) is a method developed for financial service providers to assess the exposure of their portfolio to climate-related physical risks. This method, designed to flag potential risks and inform investment strategy, is a function of location-specific climate hazards and sector-specific vulnerability.

Biodiversity Impacts & Dependencies

Biodiversity Impacts & Dependencies

The Biodiversity Impact Analytics powered by the Global Biodiversity Score™ (BIA-GBS™), co-developed by Carbon4 Finance and CDC Biodiversité, is a tool that quantifies both the biodiversity impact and ecosystem service dependencies of companies, sovereigns, and investment portfolios. It enables investors to identify biodiversity hotspots, understand nature-related risks and opportunities, and integrate biodiversity data into decision-making and engagement. BIA-GBS supports the financial sector in aligning with global biodiversity goals and reducing pressure on nature, including from climate change.
