The areas of climate and hazards this platform takes on.
Climate and Nature Financial Risk studies how a changing climate, the move to a low-carbon economy and the loss of nature become financial risk for banks, insurers and investors: through damaged collateral, stranded assets, repriced securities, uninsurable property and firms that depend on ecosystems. Its pages set out the transmission channels, scenario methods, disclosure and data, and the gaps in measurement, with every source labelled. Global Risks Alliance shares industry understanding and does not rate, certify, forecast or give investment advice.
Physical climate risk
Acute and chronic hazards that damage assets, disrupt operations and supply chains, and reduce the value of collateral and investments.
Transition risk
Policy, technology, market and legal changes in the move to low emissions that reprice assets and business models.
Nature dependencies
How firms depend on and affect ecosystems, and how nature loss becomes financial risk.
Scenario analysis
Climate scenarios used by supervisors and firms, how they are translated into financial variables and what they can show.
Sector effects
How climate and nature risk reaches insurers, banks and investors through underwriting, credit and market channels.
Disclosure and data
Climate and nature disclosure standards, financed emissions accounting and the data that support them.
Adaptation and insurability
Whether risks remain insurable and financeable as hazards change, and how adaptation investment affects that.
Model and measurement gaps
Where climate-financial models fall short: tipping points, compound events, nature and second-round effects.

Trace a shock in Climate and Nature Financial Risk to the balance sheet.
Assembled from the Nexus Standards area profile Climate risk standards: the shocks it names, the systems and sectors that carry the loss, the controls that dampen it and the data that observe it. Pick an initiating shock and step through the cascade to see which exposures it reaches and where losses could concentrate. The Map view places the run on an example geography with open data. Every weight is a stated assumption. An exercise, not a forecast, a valuation, a rating or investment advice. To model a place of your own choosing, open the full System Builder.

What Climate and Nature Financial Risk does.
Climate and nature financial risk is the risk to banks, insurers and investors from a changing climate, the move to low emissions and the loss of nature. Global Risks Alliance’s platform explains physical and transition channels, nature dependencies, scenarios, sector effects, disclosure, insurability and model gaps. It does not rate, forecast or advise.

Physical systems are changing faster than financial assumptions.
Financial institutions price, insure and hold claims on assets whose value depends on a stable climate and functioning ecosystems. When those conditions change, the change eventually appears in losses, defaults, revaluations and gaps in protection.
Hazard to loss
Damage, disruption and productivity losses from acute and chronic climate hazards.
Policy and technology
Changes in rules, prices and technology that alter asset and business values.
Ecosystem dependence
Reliance on ecosystem services whose degradation affects revenues, costs and asset values.
Physical climate risk arises from hazards such as floods, storms, wildfires, heat and drought, and from slower changes such as sea-level rise. It damages property, interrupts production and supply chains and reduces productivity. Transition risk arises from the policy, technology and market shifts that accompany decarbonisation, which can strand assets and change the profitability of whole sectors. Nature-related risk arises because economies depend on pollination, clean water, fertile soils, fisheries and flood protection that ecosystems provide, and because degradation of those services is often slow, local and poorly measured.
These risks cascade. A flood damages homes, which reduces collateral values for banks and raises claims for insurers; if insurers withdraw or raise premiums, mortgages become harder to obtain and property values fall further. A policy change can affect carbon-intensive borrowers, their suppliers and the funds that hold them at the same time. Because exposures are concentrated by geography and sector, many institutions can be hit by the same event or policy.
The industry problem is shared understanding: consistent methods, honest data and clear language about uncertainty, so that institutions, supervisors and the public can each reason about the same risks without overstating what models can tell them.
What Climate and Nature Financial Risk means for exposure, loss and capital.
The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.
Scenario pathways
How Climate and Nature Financial Risk could be stressed under the scenario families central banks and supervisors use.
| Scenario family | Transition risk | Physical risk | What a stress test asks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orderly | Early, gradual policy | Lower | Can the book absorb a steady repricing? |
| Disorderly | Late, abrupt policy | Lower to medium | What breaks under a sudden repricing and credit migration? |
| Hot house world | Limited policy | High and rising | Where do physical losses concentrate in collateral and insurance? |

Method guidance for the financial sector.
The platform’s methods are physical and transition risk scenarios, analysis of nature dependencies and asset exposure assessment. It is designed to publish financial climate and nature method guidance and sector examples that institutions can examine and adapt for their own purposes.
Who it serves
Climate risk professionals, risk modellers and finance disclosure specialists across insurance, banking and investment.
How it works
Hazard and exposure analysis, scenario design, nature dependency mapping and review of model limitations, each with stated assumptions.
What it is designed to publish
Method guidance and sector examples at sector level, with their assumptions and limits.
GRA is a nonprofit business league for the financial services industry. It does not lend, underwrite, rate, invest, advise on or arrange transactions, introduce counterparties or take transaction-based pay, and readiness work is not approval.

Science from GCRI, governance from GRF.
The platform applies climate and atmospheric science, ecology and biodiversity science, scenario design and stress testing, financial economics and macro-finance and spatial statistics and geostatistics; see the STEM foundation. The physical science comes from counterparts at The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), and the institutional context from counterparts at the Global Risks Forum (GRF).

How this works across the six pillars.
Climate and Nature Financial Risk works through six pillars of one annual programme, led by the Nexus Consortium, with GCRI, GRF and GRA each contributing in its role: explore, experiment and prototype in Labs, build, simulate and prepare in Foundry, convene and test in Universe, codify, correct and apply in Nexus Standards, publish in every format in Reports, teach in the open in Risk Academy.
