The “standard" data set-up for a standard report: what does it include?
Climate risks are location-specific. To easily compare different locations in terms of their exposure to climate hazards such as floods and droughts, risk scores are the most useful form of data. Risk scores are concise, straightforward, and easy to interpret.
The standard setup is primarily designed for sustainability due diligence. Asset-level assessments are based on these risk scores, which are calculated for both historical and forward-looking periods.
