HazAtlas

Rapid assessment of climate hazards at the facility level

About us
Ramboll’s HazAtlas climate assessment tool incorporates the latest data and climate scenarios from leading international and national organizations such as the IPCC, NASA, Copernicus and others to evaluate acute and chronic climate hazards at the facility level for sites across the globe. Our team consists of climate scientists, subject matter experts, and data analysts who are passionate about communicating the impacts of climate change hazards. We also partner with Fathom, a leading global flood analytics firm to provide comprehensive and globally consistent flood risk data. We aim to simplify complex climate data to give our clients clear insights for understanding their risk and enhancing their climate resilience.
Climate Change Risk Assessment
HazAtlas offers a fast, comprehensive solution for evaluating both present and future impacts of physical climate hazards at the facility level. HazAtlas captures local impacts and determines at-risk sites – facilitating the necessary assessment and disclosure of physical climate risks and enabling compliance with regulatory requirements.
HazAtlas provides the insights and data needed to meet the physical climate risk requirements of a rapidly growing number of climate disclosure regulations including:
  • The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) International Financial Report Standards (IFRS)
  • Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
  • U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission climate disclosure rule
  • California Senate Bill 261
HazAtlas Enables
  • Rapid assessment of present-day and future exposures to physical climate hazards across the latest future climate scenarios from the IPCC as needed for regulatory disclosure and resilience planning
  • Tailored hazard analysis with adaptable time horizons, scenarios, and rating thresholds, allowing for analyses and insights that are specifically aligned with your industry and risk tolerances
  • Streamlined result visualization for both large portfolios and individual sites with interactive dashboards and standardized reports that allow for comparison of different sites by the level of exposure and identification of hot spots
  • Prioritization of resilience actions through the identification of at-risk and critical sites and the provision of the data needed for this follow-on work

Key Offerings

  • :

    Climate Hazard Exposure

    Evaluate the magnitude, frequency, and likelihood of acute and chronic climate hazards at the facility level from the present day through the end of the 21st century. These include average and extreme temperatures, extreme precipitation, inland flooding, sea level rise, storm surge, wildfire, hurricanes, severe storms, drought, and other hazards.
  • :

    Scenario Analysis

    Compare the projected change in frequency and intensity of hazards across a range of the latest future climate scenarios from the IPCC. Better understand the range and severity of potential impacts and the robustness of current adaptation measures and resilience strategies.
  • :

    Transparent and Adaptable Methodology

    Our methodologies and rating systems are built around data and methods that are peer reviewed and consistent with the latest climate science. We leverage the latest datasets from leading governmental and scientific organizations and process these data to develop a series of indicators that are representative of impacts to infrastructure, human health, and the environment.
  • :

    Industry Specific Insights

    HazAtlas incorporates industry specific climate sensitivity data developed by Ramboll's global network of subject matter experts and climate risk professionals. This expert knowledge is integrated into HazAtlas and combined with our in-house climate modeling capabilities to develop ratings that reflect differences in the operational characteristics and resource dependencies of specific industries.
  • :

    Streamlined Analysis and Reporting

    The HazAtlas team employs a multi-stage analysis approach to identify and prioritize the assets and climate hazards that have the potential to result in material risks and eliminate those assets that do not. Doing so reduces the cost, burden, and time required to identify material risks and allows for prioritization of the more data- and time intensive vulnerability and resilience work.
