Quantitative Tools for Climate Risk and ESG
Working with Climate Scenarios
The climate risk solution lets you analyze and model climate scenarios, enabling teams to assess the impacts of climate change and make informed decisions on risk management and investment strategies.
With the solution, you can:
- Import, process, and analyze large climate datasets, including historical emissions data and climate projections
- Develop and run complex Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) using prebuilt functions, toolboxes, or third-party models
- Leverage advanced visualization techniques to display and analyze model results like 3D plots and interactive animations
- Use machine learning to optimize model parameters and identify key drivers of climate change
- Assess model results and projections by working with large ensemble scenarios
- Integrate industry-standard scenarios, like those from IIASA and NGFS, into your analyses

Modeling Climate Transition Risk
The climate risk solution enables you to assess climate transition risk that arises from the global shift towards a more sustainable, net-zero economy, impacting businesses and assets due to changes in policy, technology, consumer preferences, and investor expectations.
With the solution, you can:
- Integrate diverse data sources, including climate, financial, and economic data, for comprehensive climate transition risk modeling
- Develop custom analytics and machine learning models to uncover insights and inform data-driven decisions
- Generate visualizations and reports to communicate the potential impact of transition risks on businesses, assets, and investments
Analyzing and Managing Physical Climate Risks
You can assess, model, and manage the risks associated with climate-related natural disasters by integrating historical data, climate projections, and geospatial information.
With the solution, you can:
- Import vector and raster GIS and geospatial data into the MATLAB environment
- Normalize different coordinate systems, addresses, and locations
- Visualize and analyze the intersection of physical risks like flooding and asset locations
