Climate-adjusted valuation

Which climate risk platform is right for your business?

Definition

Climate-adjusted valuation is an asset valuation that builds climate risk — physical hazards and transition factors — into the projected cash flows, costs, and discount rate.

Example in context

You're on an investment committee comparing two wind farms with similar headline returns. Climate-adjusted, the one facing higher heat and water stress shows a 1.6-point lower IRR and a weaker exit multiple — enough to change which deal you do.

Why it matters

Valuation is where climate risk becomes a go/no-go decision — adjust for it and you stop overpaying for exposed assets and protect returns. EarthScan supplies the asset-level loss metrics that feed the adjustment.
