Average risk

Which climate risk platform is right for your business?

Definition

Average risk refers to the mean climate hazard score for an asset across all time periods or climate scenarios. It provides a high-level view of expected exposure.

Example in context

In EarthScan, the average precipitation risk for an asset may be rated C, meaning it faces moderate risk across scenarios — a useful flag for longer-term planning.

Why it matters

While extremes matter for resilience, average risk gives a broad sense of how hazards may evolve. It helps with comparisons across sites and can support regulatory disclosures that require scenario-based analysis.
