Read how risk modeling is evolving to help insurers play an active role in supporting the quest for net zero.
The Conference of the Parties (COP26) climate change conference (October 31–November 12 in Glasgow, Scotland) is just around the corner. More than 190 world leaders are expected to attend.
Joss Matthewman and Evan Cropper discuss key topics our clients are asking about climate change and how they are being addressed.
Demands for climate-related physical risk disclosure are growing, and adoption of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations is expanding.
The insurance industry is getting familiar with the brave new world of climate change metrics.
Climate-related losses continue to increase. Of the US $1.4 trillion in losses due to climate perils over the last 30 years, 41% have occurred in the last five years.
Flooding is one of the main climate hazards affecting Europe, and recent research suggests that climate change could cause extreme flood events to become more frequent over the next decades.
Five years on from the wildfire that devastated Fort McMurray, the event has proved critical to developing a much deeper understanding of wildfire losses in Canada
New Climate Change Models show impact of climate change on losses; Losses from hurricanes could increase by 24 percent by 2050
For everyone working in risk management, there is an implicit understanding about the wider mission underlining our work: to help create a more resilient world.
The findings of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), finalized in 2014, were clear: Human behavior is affecting climate change.
For more than 20 years, RMS has worked with partners and stakeholders to understand how climate change affects perils and regions around the globe and to progress toward solutions that quantify the physical risk of climate change. Building a more resilient world is the essence of the RMS mission. By demystifying the risks of climate change, we are committed to helping organizations of every type factor these consideration into their strategic outlook with Climate Change Models, data, and analytics.

Demonstrate your understanding of climate change impacts for your investors and rating agencies with climate risk modeling insights. Simplify reporting for new and emerging risk profiles, stress tests, and climate-related regulation.
Understand vulnerability to your supply chain and mitigate risk of future disruption as increasing severity of regional extreme weather events can now disrupt entire global logistics networks.
Grow your business by understanding the complex relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and extreme weather events. Leverage climate change risk modeling for new growth opportunities.
Make better real estate decisions by using climate risk modeling to understand the impact of climate change on long-term asset depreciation and identify strategies to enable reductions in risk.
RMS uses historical climate data, including precipitation, sea levels, weather patterns, impact on coastlines, and storm intensities and frequency to inform our leading-edge stochastic modeling. Find out how others have partnered with RMS to respond to the growing risk of climate change.
For over 20 years, RMS has developed strong, long-standing partnerships with a wide range of organizations around the world. We are committed to contributing our risk modeling expertise to help the market better understand the physical risk caused by climate change.

There is an urgent need to assess and quantify the extent of the rising physical risk caused by climate change – how much it has already changed, what will happen in the future, and how such risks are being priced.
Our climate change risk analytics practice can help translate climate change science into a business advantage with regulatory and business consulting services.
The effects of climate change aren’t just reshaping our physical world. They are also disrupting the market in profound ways. Our new Climate Change Models extend our industry-leading, comprehensive catastrophe models to empower you to address the near- and long-term challenges posed by climate change.
New Moody's report examines sector performance in a zero-carbon world. Few issues are poised to multiply risk - or opportunity - more dramatically in capital markets than climate change. This new report analyzes the exposure of carbon-intensive sectors to climate risk and their readiness for the transition at hand.
With Moody’s recent acquisition of RMS, we are now part of Moody’s broad suite of innovative climate solutions and insights, which range from entity level information to macro level analytics and span identification and quantification of climate risk and readiness. Learn more about how we help our clients identify and evaluate climate risks and unlock new opportunities.
