MathWorks Climate Risk Solutions

Working with Climate Scenarios

The climate risk solutions let 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 solutions, you can:

• Import, process, and analyze large climate datasets, including historical emissions data and climate projections
• Develop and run complex Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) to analyze the complex interactions between human and natural systems
• 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

You can assess transition risk from the shift to a net-zero economy. Quantify how policy, technology, and market changes affect portfolios.

With the solutions, 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 solutions, you can:

• Import vector and raster GIS and geospatial data into the MATLAB environment
• Align different coordinate systems, addresses, and locations
• Visualize and analyze the intersection of physical risks like flooding and asset locations

Aligning Investments with Climate Goals and ESG Factors

The climate risk solutions enable investors to incorporate ESG factors and climate data into investment decision-making and risk management processes.

With the solutions, you can:

• Develop ESG scoring models based on climate and other ESG factors
• Incorporate climate data into portfolio optimization models for temperature alignment, such as the Paris Aligned SBTi framework
• Apply advanced analytics and machine learning for trading opportunities and risk forecasting
• Generate transparent reports and visualizations of ESG performance
• Manage model risk effectively with the built-in validation and risk management tools in MathWorks Modelscape

Climate Stress Testing for Financial Institutions

IAM Explorer and Risk Management Toolbox let you combine portfolio, macro-economic, and climate scenarios for stress testing as recently required by regulators such as the Bank of England, ECB, and the Federal Reserve.
