Capital Dynamics is a global private asset management firm with over $14 billion in assets under management and advisement, specialising in clean energy infrastructure, private equity, and private credit.

Through its Clean Energy business line, Capital Dynamics invests in and manages renewable energy projects that provide sustainable, long-term returns for institutional clients. With assets powering homes and businesses across Europe, the firm views climate resilience as essential to protecting value and fulfilling its commitment to responsible investment.

The challenge

Capital Dynamics’ Clean Energy business manages over 200 renewable energy assets across Europe, from large-scale solar arrays to wind farms. These assets are built to deliver stable, long-term returns, but climate change is rewriting the risk landscape.

Flooding, extreme precipitation, and heatwaves increasingly threaten infrastructure, operations, and revenue streams. For Capital Dynamics, these evolving risks posed several pressing challenges:

• Protecting asset value: Climate-driven flooding and other hazards could lead to costly downtime, repairs, and reduced energy output. ‍
• Informing investment decisions: Without detailed, forward-looking data, the firm risked committing capital to locations that may become high-risk under future climate scenarios. ‍
• Meeting stakeholder expectations: Investors and regulators, guided by frameworks such as TCFD, ISSB, and the EU Taxonomy, demanded transparent, science-based climate risk reporting.

While Capital Dynamics had strong ESG foundations, its existing approach lacked the granularity, scale, and forward-looking perspective needed to assess physical climate risks across a diverse portfolio and integrate that intelligence into both day-to-day asset management and long-term strategic planning.

What they did with EarthScan

To address the need for portfolio-wide visibility and data-driven resilience planning, Capital Dynamics partnered with Mitiga Solutions to integrate EarthScan into its Clean Energy business operations.

Use case 1: Portfolio-wide flood and climate hazard analysis

Capital Dynamics used EarthScan to evaluate over 75 clean energy assets across Europe for current and future exposure to key physical hazards.

• Conducted detailed assessments of coastal and riverine flooding, identifying high-risk locations under short- (2025), medium- (2030), and long-term (2050) scenarios.
• Expanded analysis to include heat stress, drought, extreme precipitation, wind, and wildfire, creating a comprehensive risk profile for each site.
• Delivered geospatial flood maps to clearly visualise risk hotspots and prioritise action.

“The combination of geospatial mapping and scenario analysis gave us actionable intelligence, not just data.”

Use case 2: Targeted mitigation & asset protection

Armed with EarthScan’s insights, Capital Dynamics developed asset-specific adaptation strategies:

• Created mitigation plans for high-priority sites, including flood defences and refurbishment schedules.
• Integrated risk data into operational planning, reducing the likelihood of costly disruptions and extending asset lifecycles.
• Used Mitiga’s proprietary Signal Resolver to monitor key risk indicators and trigger early interventions.

“EarthScan turned complex climate models into clear guidance we could apply directly to safeguard our assets.”

Use case 3: Embedding climate intelligence into investment strategy

EarthScan’s outputs have become a core component of Capital Dynamics’ responsible investment framework:

• Incorporated climate scenario analysis into pre-transaction due diligence, helping avoid high-risk investments.
• Integrated findings into the firm’s 2025 Responsible Investment Policy, ensuring climate resilience is embedded at every stage of the investment cycle.
• Enhanced TCFD-, ISSB-, and EU Taxonomy-aligned reporting, strengthening transparency and investor confidence.

“This is no longer about reacting to risks, it’s about making climate resilience part of our investment DNA.”

Mitiga Solutions’ impact on Capital Dynamics

EarthScan has enabled Capital Dynamics to transform climate risk management from a reactive task into a strategic advantage.

By assessing over 200 clean energy assets for flooding and other climate hazards, the firm now has a comprehensive, forward-looking view of physical risks across its European portfolio. This visibility has empowered Capital Dynamics to prioritise high-risk sites, implement targeted mitigation measures, and avoid exposure to vulnerable locations altogether.

Operationally, the integration of EarthScan has reduced uncertainty and strengthened asset resilience. Flood maps and hazard-specific recommendations have helped minimise the risk of costly outages, safeguard long-term energy output, and support asset refurbishment planning.

Strategically, these insights have been woven into Capital Dynamics’ 2025 Responsible Investment Policy, enhancing decision-making and ensuring that climate resilience is central to every investment.

For investors, this approach provides confidence that Capital Dynamics is proactively managing climate-related financial risks. The firm’s TCFD-, ISSB-, and EU Taxonomy-aligned reporting showcases its leadership in sustainable infrastructure investment and commitment to delivering long-term, risk-adjusted returns.

“EarthScan gives us the confidence to deliver long-term returns in a changing world. It’s become fundamental to how we manage and grow our clean energy portfolio.”

With EarthScan, Capital Dynamics has moved beyond identifying risks to embedding resilience into the heart of its clean energy strategy, protecting both asset value and investor trust for decades to come.
