The client needed to assess physical and transition risks to understand climate effects on their portfolio, including catastrophe types and transition drivers.
Solytics developed a comprehensive risk assessment framework:
- Evaluating all potential physical risks like typhoons, storms, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis, sea-level increase, and other climate change scenarios.
- Assessing transition risks from government policies and technological advancements.
- Defining Transition Risk (TR) settings based on NGFS climate scenarios.
- Conducting climate stress tests and portfolio optimization by calculating Climate Value at Risk (VaR) and drift between Physical Risk and Transition Risk.
