BMI has significantly expanded its risk assessment platform to include geospatial modeling of physical climate hazards with a forecast horizon extending to 2050. This update covers over 140 markets and draws on over 650 monthly ESG indicators, enhancing the transparency of sovereign and sector risk assessments.

The new model quantifies the impact of climate factors on specific assets, communities, and supply chains under various climate change scenarios. Users can analyze potential disruptions to infrastructure, energy, real estate, and manufacturing, and model the financial impacts of both transition and physical climate risks. The modeling covers six natural hazard categories and ten asset and sector types, providing the comparability needed by institutional investors to integrate climate risk into capital allocation processes.

The service's expansion comes amid increasingly stringent global requirements for climate risk disclosure, including ISSB standards, the EU taxonomy, and financial institution stress testing. The platform also includes 65 detailed country reports analyzing the impact of ESG factors on industries, combining quantitative data with expert judgment.
