Financial regulators across the world, including in
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has tested the resilience of economies and is providing a good example of how systemic changes can impact financial, economic and social stability. To better prepare companies across all sectors for the impact on climate, Aon has entered into an exclusive broker relationship with The Climate Service (TCS) that combines science and technology to measure, monitor and manage the financial impacts of climate on business and investments. The combined service brings together complementary analytics with a climate focus and comprises:
Scenario Analysis: Firstly, client data such as property location, type, value and greenhouse gas emissions are uploaded to The Climate Service's Climanomics platform. It then runs different climate scenarios to explore the impact of physical risks such as changes in temperature, flooding and wildfire as well as 'transition' risk including shifts in carbon pricing, law and reputation - which are aligned to the TCFD framework.
Customized Recommendations: Aon's analysts interpret the data to create a customized risk framework with actionable recommendations, outlining how changes in financing strategies can help mitigate climate-related impacts.
Balance Sheet Optimization: Next, Aon will look to optimise the client's long-term balance sheet resilience using capital through risk transfer and/or asset placement. Aon will also explore new capital solutions where the Climanomics platform has raised challenges that are not addressed by the traditional markets.
While the Climanomics platform is currently used by asset managers, Aon identified an opportunity to broaden the reach of these insights to risk managers and accelerate the firm's ability to support clients in a broader set of industries.
Aon is committed to helping clients leverage emerging technologies and new ways of working that advance their strategic initiatives. This offering is part of Aon's technological evolution to deliver new products that meet clients' needs today and tomorrow, in a transparent and efficient way, through innovative collaborations.
