Climate change will increasingly affect all of us - the environment, people, and companies - the longer, the stronger.
It will also affect company productivity, revenue, and return on investment. According to the World Bank, the global economy’s growth is set to slump to a three-decade low by 2030 due to climate change. The analysis shows that as much as 0.7 percentage points can boost potential GDP growth to an annual average rate of 2.9% if countries have sustainable, growth-oriented policies and sound investments aligned with key climate goals. These would contribute 0.3 percentage points - almost half of the potential increase. It is, therefore, time to determine the effects of climate change on each organisation’s activity and develop concrete ways to adapt.

Some companies are affected more by climate change than others, depending on the industry and location of the company. Therefore, it is essential to assess the climate risks of business-critical locations. Large companies already have different regulatory frameworks helping them deal with their individual climate risk. For example, ESG reporting (Reporting on environmental, social, and governance risks) with the EU taxonomy requires companies to report on different risks formally, including climate change. These regulations will become stricter and affect small and medium-sized companies in the following years.
climate+ offers instant access to data for climate predictions and climate risk assessments and is the perfect data solution to fulfil the requirements for EU taxonomy and other regulatory frameworks for climate risk assessments. climate+ offers climate prediction data for temperature and precipitation for the 4 RCP emission scenarios 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5, used by the IPCC. The data are available for any location worldwide, offering hourly resolution data, with the prediction horizon reaching up to the year 2100.
The climate+ interface provides different graphics in the form of boxplots for various time resolutions (10 years and 30 years) and different aggregations (yearly and monthly), allowing a quick analysis of changes in air temperature and precipitation for your individual location. You can test the interactive climate+ interface free of charge for Basel.
These data can be used to calculate statistics in the context of climate change and are not meant to be used as a deterministic forecast.
climate+ can also be combined with climate risk assessment or climate prediction services offering company-specific solutions and several customisation options.
meteoblue is also contributing to climate change mitigation projects by consciously compensating for produced CO2. Moreover, we have decided to go beyond this and spend 5% of the climate+ revenue on such projects. We will transparently document which projects we have supported.
