How to manage climate risk with climate information

Technical Guidance on Application of Climate Information for Comprehensive Risk Management, from UNDRR and WMO, which provides the necessary know-how to develop and strengthen a policy basis for DRR and risk-informed development…!

To further enhance management of physical climate risks, Breckinridge has developed a top-down climate risk assessment overlay that can be applied to sustainable tax-efficient municipal strategies. https://bit.ly/47nHp8U

Wonderful to see DCCEEW release is Draft National Climate Scenario Guidance. In my opinion, this provides one of the best reads available on the key steps for undertaking climate scenario analysis as well as good insights into climate data sources. The document, although still in draft, provides much need direction on which scenarios to use for climate disclosure reporting in Australia. For more details see https://lnkd.in/gG5vGT-q

📢[Working paper alert] Climate risk, climate policy and international capital flows: evidence from SADC countries Authors: Tesfaye T. Lemma, Michael Machokoto and Marvelous Kadzima Read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/dUqaAVtm This study examines the impact of climate risk and climate policies on capital flows in Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries. Using data from 10 SADC countries spanning 2000 to 2022, we find that climate risk – proxied by extreme weather and climatic events – negatively affects aggregate international capital flows and their individual components: direct investments, portfolio investments and other investments. Similarly, the extensiveness of climate policies is associated with a decline in capital flows across all three categories. These inverse relationships persist whether international capital inflows or outflows are used as the dependent variable. The findings remain robust after addressing potential biases related to omitted variables, measurement issues, endogeneity and self-selection. This study offers important policy insights for SADC economies – a region highly vulnerable to climate change yet relatively under-researched.

Identifying critical intervention points for the prevention of cascading climate impacts Nature Climate Change, Published online: 20 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02456-1Bridging traditional disciplinary silos, a study has mapped cascading climate risks to the European Union through stakeholder-co-produced impact chains and network analysis. It provides country-specific risk profiles by identifying critical intervention points — such as water, livelihoods or violent conflict — to support policy coherence in addressing interconnected vulnerabilities and guiding targeted adaptation. https://lnkd.in/etu3VajX

Global frameworks for climate action like the Paris Agreement and Sendai Framework fall short when it comes to addressing risk, resilience, and adaptation. To build resilience and adapt for climate impacts, organisations should look to create roadmaps that prioritise value, economic feasibility and implementation. We’ve helped develop roadmaps like this using predictive large-scale modelling and analysis with a probabilistic risk scoring framework. We also simplify all this into a Resilience and Adaptation Cost Curve (RACC), so every potential can ranked each potential initiative by the value of impact avoided, helping to narrow down the most affordable and highest-impact options. Find out what the RACC looks like below and what is needed to develop it. #ClimateRisk #PartnersinPerformance #EnergyTransition #ClimateImpact

If you work in the decarb space, you will have heard of the MACC (marginal abatement cost curve), which charts initiatives by the cost to eliminate a tonne of CO2 emissions. Now introducing the next important chart for any company facing climate-related risks… the RACC:

A question every Board, CEO and COO should be asking: What is our action plan to ensure our operations remain future fit? Planning effectively for climate impact requires a roadmap that prioritises and balances value, economic feasibility and implementation. Such a roadmap enables any organisation to build the critical capabilities needed for resilience, adaptation and competitive advantage. #climaterisk #partnersinperformance #energytransition

The conversation on climate resilience has shifted from 𝘸𝘩𝘺 it matters to 𝘩𝘰𝘸 we can effectively measure and enhance it. Companies across the agri-food supply chain are increasingly recognising climate resilience as a core business imperative. However, translating this awareness into effective action requires precise, data-driven insights to target support where it's needed most. Our Climate Resilience Ratings provide a clear measure of resilience, scoring agri-businesses based on their exposure, sensitivity, adaptability, and transformability to climate hazards. Our ratings are designed to help agri-businesses, lenders, and investors: • Pinpoint Specific Vulnerabilities • Quantify Investment Risk • Strengthen Supply Chains from the Bottom Up • Monitor Impact Over Time We've updated our webpage to serve as a definitive resource providing transparent insight into our methodology, showcasing how our framework generates specific, actionable scores. 🌐 Visit our updated ratings page to learn more about our climate resilience ratings and how they can benefit your organisation. https://lnkd.in/eWpHYR2G

Missed the recent webinar on economic impacts from the changing climate? It is available now to view.     We heard from key experts from the across the Australian Climate Service partnership and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water about the likely economic impacts under a changing climate.    The Australian economy is already experiencing the impacts of climate change through the direct and indirect effects of increasingly frequent extreme events, including tropical cyclones, floods, bushfires, droughts and heatwaves.    Climate change will result in erosion of the drivers of the economy by reducing business productivity, increasing insurance loss, and reducing asset values in high-risk areas.     An escalation of risks in one system is highly likely to have a ripple effect across sectors, services and structures. Extreme events will lead to property damage, increased insurance costs and even loss of homes, particularly in coastal areas vulnerable to sea level rise and erosion. These impacts will contribute to the cost of living, placing further stress on household budgets.    Outdoor-exposed industries are particularly susceptible to physical climate risks.  This is especially true for agriculture, tourism, mining, and construction.    Farmers are well practiced at managing climate variability, however the rate at which the climate is changing is putting agricultural productivity at risk. The increasing frequency and severity of extreme events, the changing nature and location of climate events and impacts on other sectors are increasing the pressures on primary industries and their communities.     Risk can be driven from other sectors, for example impacts to health, supply chains, water security, migration away from high-risk communities. https://lnkd.in/g8ahCWg6
