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.
US$ 143 billion
US$ 143 billion per year in costs due to extreme events is attributable to climatic change (Nature, 2024).
How can HazAtlas help assess and mitigate your climate risks?
- :
Risk and hazard-specific analysis
HazAtlas helps analyse a wide range of hazards including extreme temperatures, precipitation, inland and coastal flooding, sea level rise, storm surge, wildfires, hurricanes or cyclones, severe storms, drought, and more. It can even help assess the magnitude, frequency, and likelihood of both acute and chronic climate hazards across different assets and climate scenarios.

Rapid Methods for Risk Management
HazAtlas delivers fast, focused climate risk analysis through a streamlined, multi-stage workflow. It applies asset-specific sensitivity thresholds—like heat tolerance for data centers or flood depth for warehouses—to rank facilities by material climate risk. By spotlighting key vulnerabilities and filtering out low-impact threats, it minimizes cost, effort, and turnaround time.
- :
Industry compliance and reporting
This platform provides industry-specific insights and data needed to meet the needs of investors, shareholders, and the rapidly increasing number of climate disclosure regulations and frameworks including Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), California Senate Bill 261, Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)/ International, Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and more.
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.
