An asset is a physical structure, such as a building, power plant, or data centre that can be assessed for exposure to climate risk. EarthScan uses location, function, and other attributes to model risk at the asset level.
A real estate investor assessing climate risk across their commercial properties would treat each building as an asset. With EarthScan, they can upload a list of addresses and get risk insights for each one.
Climate risk varies by location and asset type. Asset-level analysis allows for more accurate assessments, especially for portfolios that span different geographies or sectors. It’s the foundation for meaningful reporting, planning, and adaptation.
