Historic estimated losses from two recent hurricanes highlight the importance of understanding asset locations that face intensifying climate impacts. 

Chronic heat is causing stress on workers and driving the need for adaptations to current working conditions. Using geospatial intelligence, we assess the potential impact of heat at the asset level for U.S. constituents of the MSCI ACWI Investable Market Index. 

To understand the financial risks from flooding, knowing an asset’s location is important, but so too is its elevation. Using the MSCI GeoSpatial Asset Intelligence dataset we explore the impact of getting it wrong. 

Physical risk from climate change has started to affect nearly every region of the world, from the four hottest days on record occurring in a row this month to more frequent, more intense storms. We discuss what this all may mean for companies, insurers and investors.
