Climate and Nature Financial Risk
The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)
The research behind Climate and Nature Financial Risk: the questions it asks, the methods it uses and how evidence is reviewed before it is published.
Climate and Nature Financial Risk research is the evidence work behind the platform: questions such as physical climate risk and transition risk, answered with climate and atmospheric science as well as ecology and biodiversity science and reviewed before publication. Every result carries an evidence label, from observed to modelled or expert judgement, and missing data is shown as missing, never filled silently.

For professional research, in GRA's spatial-finance reading, the map opens on population density, night lights and land cover with built-up and settlement extent from NASA GIBS, framed on Southeast Asia; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

| Question | Evidence used |
|---|---|
| How sensitive are results to damage functions? | hazard layers, pathways, ecosystem data |
| Where do nature dependencies concentrate? | hazard and water stress |
| When does insurability break? | top-down and bottom-up models |
Climate and Nature Financial Risk research concerns physical, transition and nature risk across sectors. It is written for climate risk managers in banks and insurers and disclosure and sustainability reporting teams, carries an evidence label on every value and never performs any institution's own analysis of advice on transition plans of named firms.
Results are labelled as observed, officially reported, estimated, modelled, forecast, scenario or expert judgement. Missing data is shown as missing, never filled silently.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Research integrity | Conduct of research in line with principles of reliability, honesty, respect and accountability, as the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity sets them out. |
| Evidence label | A tag naming the kind of evidence, such as observed or modelled, that should survive every summary. |
| Reproducibility | Obtaining consistent results using the same data and analysis code as the original study. |
| Stranded asset | An asset that loses value or earning power early because of regulatory, market or physical change. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
