Rapid assessment of climate hazards at the facility level

HazAtlas

Gain climate hazard intelligence to anticipate risks and build resilience

Assess Climate Risk, Build Resilience

With increasing effects of global warming, companies must use adaptation and resilience plans to mitigate risks from extreme weather as well as shifts in regulatory requirements, technology, and markets.

Most climate platforms stop at high-level forecasts. HazAtlas goes further using analytics to convert those forecasts into indicators that show exactly how floods, heatwaves, and other hazards will impact on your assets, your revenue, and business operations. With clear, asset-specific risk scores and mitigation guidance, HazAtlas makes adaptation planning straightforward and defensible.

HazAtlas can quickly quantify specific vulnerabilities of a company’s most important facilities, assets, and value chains starting with potential climate-change scenarios, then build business cases that compare the cost of possible solutions to their risk-reduction benefits. With HazAtlas data and insights, together we can create resilience and compliance plans focusing on managing risks and positioning your organisation to gain a competitive advantage.

Transparent and Adaptable Methodology

Our methodologies and rating systems are built around data and methods that are peer reviewed and consistent with the latest climate science. We leverage the latest datasets from leading governmental and scientific organizations and process these data to develop a series of indicators that are representative of impacts to infrastructure, human health, and the environment. By performing the analysis in-house, we are able to adapt the indicators and rating systems to reflect the sensitivities and risk tolerances of your business.

Industry Specific Insights

HazAtlas incorporates industry specific climate sensitivity data developed by Ramboll's global network of subject matter experts and climate risk professionals. This expert knowledge is integrated into HazAtlas and combined with our in-house climate modeling capabilities to develop ratings that reflect differences in the operational characteristics and resource dependencies of specific industries.

Streamlined Analysis and Reporting

The HazAtlas team employs a multi-stage analysis approach to identify and prioritize the assets and climate hazards that have the potential to result in material risks and eliminate those assets that do not. Doing so reduces the cost, burden, and time required to identify material risks and allows for prioritization of the more data- and time intensive vulnerability and resilience work.

Climate data & insights

HazAtlas uses transparent, adaptable climate science methods as well as peer-reviewed data and datasets from leading governmental and scientific organisations to create indicators of potential material impacts on infrastructure, operations, and human health. By integrating high resolution datasets from NASA, Fathom, Copernicus, and other leading scientific institutions, HazAtlas delivers scientifically robust and actionable facility‑level evaluations. Leveraging the latest CMIP6 scenarios developed by the IPCC, HazAtlas provides a comprehensive view of future climate trajectories and their potential impacts.

CLIMATE RISK MANAGEMENT INSPIRATIONS

Climate risk screening for a renewable-energy company
Challenge: Identify climate-related material risks for a renewable energy project’s initial site due diligence.
Solution: Assess physical climate hazards at proposed sites, customising rating systems to match the design parameters and risk tolerances of the planned infrastructure.
Results: The company gained critical insights to make informed decisions about specific climate risks, prioritise resilience measures post-acquisition, and comply with project-financing requirements.
Assessing a global portfolio: climate risks and resilience
Challenge: Identify climate-related material risks for an international manufacturing portfolio and its key suppliers to meet regulatory compliance and inform resilience planning.
Solution: Evaluate physical climate risks by focusing on critical assets and suppliers, and analyse climate and financial data to assess vulnerabilities across scenarios and timeframes.
Results: The company prioritised at-risk sites for resilience planning, disclosed material risks under CSRD and enhanced climate-risk management and reporting across global operations
Resilient design support for a large data centre
Challenge: Ensure the long-term resilience of data centres by accounting for future climate-change scenarios, since initial designs relied solely on historical weather data.
Solution: Forecast the impacts of evolving design parameters such as cooling systems and stormwater infrastructure, and identify indirect vulnerabilities like power or water outages.
Results: The company gained insights to update engineering criteria, discovering that current cooling capacity will be insufficient by the 2030s and increasing the risk of outages.
