Physical Climate Risk Reporting

“Irrespective of whichever disclosure standard you are obliged to report under, the management of physical climate risk always follows a similar structure:

1. Identify risks and opportunities

2. Account for, or financially quantify, them

3. Act to mitigate downside or realise upside.”

Turn climate risk into a strategic advantage.

Extreme weather events and long-term climate shifts are reshaping the real estate landscape. Regulators, investors, and insurers now expect clear, credible disclosures on how your assets are exposed and what you’re doing about it. At Kintera, we make this complex process simple, actionable, and aligned with global standards.

Why It Matters

  • Regulatory Pressure: UK climate-related financial disclosure rules, TCFD-aligned frameworks, and IFRS Sustainability Standards (S1 & S2) require transparent reporting on physical climate risks.

  • Investor Expectations: Asset managers must demonstrate resilience planning to protect value and maintain access to capital.

  • Insurance & Lending: Underwriters increasingly demand evidence of risk mitigation before offering favourable terms.

Our Services

  • Portfolio Risk Screening
    Identify assets exposed to flooding, heat stress, storms, and other hazards using geospatial and climate scenario data.

  • Asset-Level Vulnerability Assessments
    Evaluate building design, infrastructure, and operational dependencies to pinpoint weaknesses.

  • Scenario Analysis & Stress Testing
    Model financial impacts under multiple climate pathways (e.g., 1.5°C vs. 4°C scenarios) to inform investment decisions.

  • Resilience Action Planning
    Develop practical adaptation strategies, such as flood defences, cooling systems, and drainage upgrades. All prioritised by cost and impact.

  • Compliance & Disclosure Support
    Prepare reports aligned with TCFD, IFRS S2, and investor ESG requirements, integrating physical risk data into your sustainability reporting.

  • Training & Capacity Building
    Equip your team to understand climate risk metrics, disclosure frameworks, and resilience best practices.

The Outcome

  • Clear, credible reporting that meets regulatory and investor standards.

  • Reduced exposure to climate-related losses.

  • Enhanced reputation as a forward-thinking, resilient asset manager.
