CONTENTS
Risk exposure refers to the measured potential for damage or loss from a specific hazard at a given location. It combines the likelihood and severity of a hazard occurring.
Example in context
A heatwave may affect several company sites, but EarthScan shows which ones have high risk exposure, meaning they face both frequent and intense heat, increasing the chance of operational disruption.
Why it matters
Exposure helps teams prioritise which locations or assets are at greatest climate risk. It’s a critical input in CVaR, materiality assessments, and portfolio screening.
