The alliance will also leverage the experience of IBM Services in financial risk, analytics, weather risk, and compliance, to use the Climanomics® platform to provide climate risk analytics to clients across all sectors, including global financial services leaders, industrial corporations, and energy providers.
“At a time when markets and investors are demanding climate risk transparency and quantification, IBM is committed to providing cloud-based climate risk solutions to the financial services sector and critical infrastructure industries such as industrial, consumer, energy, and utilities,” said Dr. Murray Simpson, IBM’s Global Lead for Sustainability, Climate & Transition. “This collaboration with The Climate Service will provide clients financial insights that are based on the most advanced available science and technology. As we work with clients to integrate critical insights into their business decision-making, our goal is to inform their strategy and help them remain competitive and resilient.”
“With the TCFD framework now supported by organizations globally, demand for the Climanomics® platform has been growing fast,” says James McMahon, CEO of The Climate Service. “With IBM’s advanced technology and global experience, this work will scale quickly so we can accelerate progress on our mission to embed climate risk into global decision-making.”
