Trex Analysis, climate data platform for professional investors that’s based on Earth’s non-linear climate activities, has partnered with NatureAlpha which uses AI to identify nature risks in specific locations.
Trex climate scenarios are non-linear, meaning they account for the fact that Earth’s climate system inputs and outputs are not proportional, change is often episodic and abrupt, rather than slow and gradual. Clients using their platform choose a set of near-term scenarios narriatives such as those in the University of Exeter report “No Time to Lose.” Trex’s platform quantifies scenario-specific impacts to incorporate in your investment strategy.
The companies said that Trex’s integration of NatureAlpha’s Geoverse platform strengthens the shift from measuring climate exposure to demonstrating credible risk mitigation. By combining Trex’s forward-looking, non-linear hazard insights with high-resolution asset intelligence, financial institutions can see how risks evolve, which assets and value chains are affected, and where mitigation is needed.
“Amongst financial institutions, precise asset location data was once considered a niche concern, but it is increasingly regarded as a core component of financial risk analysis – and rightly so,” said Nick Hough-Robbins, CEO, NatureAlpha. “Exploiting the transformative power of AI, NatureAlpha’s Geoverse platform analyses over 10 million precise asset locations worldwide, with credibility, consistency and accuracy.”
The partnership allows Trex to deliver to clients a comprehensive, asset-level physical climate risk offering that stands up to regulatory scrutiny and supports risk mitigation decisions.
“Due to NatureAlpha’s best-in-class asset location data, we now capture the impacts of hazards and tipping points on expected company revenues via impact on consumption of goods and services produced, as well as damages to their locations,” said Willemijn Verdegaal, Co-CEO, Trex. “We believe that this innovation will enable the financial community to make decisions that increase their resilience with confidence.”
