Sustain 2050 is an Australian consultancy helping organisations develop foresight for long-term resilience in the face of climate change. Its mission is to turn sustainability into a driver of cost savings, stronger business models, improved access to finance, and long-term value.

Working with clients across multiple sectors, Sustain 2050 advises on both physical climate risks and emerging opportunities in a warmer, decarbonising world.

Challenge

Sustain 2050 needed to assess the financial implications of climate risk across entire asset portfolios, not just a few high-profile sites.

The team faced three key challenges:

• Analysing large volumes of asset-level data quickly
• Translating physical climate risks into financial insights
• Embedding insights into clients’ systems and workflows

They needed a scalable, flexible solution that could deliver accuracy, speed, and usability across both B2B and B2C channels.

Solution

By integrating Mitiga’s EarthScan API, Sustain 2050 now accesses CVaR and key climate risk metrics across thousands of assets in real time.

The API provides:

• Asset-level exposure to risks such as flooding, wind, drought, wildfire, heat stress and precipitation
• Risk ratings based on location, with CVaR calculations tailored to asset characteristics such as materials and structural traits
• Potential for integration with client tools like Power BI for streamlined reporting

This allows Sustain 2050 to deliver climate intelligence that’s not only science-backed but tailored and actionable.

The output is used to:

• Support resilience planning and adaptation strategies
• Enable clearer communication across customer organisations
• Identify financial risks and sustainability-linked opportunities

Results

EarthScan’s API enables Sustain 2050 to deliver high-quality climate insights at scale, without sacrificing speed or credibility.

This has helped to:

• Reduce time spent on data collection and manual analysis
• Increase transparency and strengthen client confidence
• Elevate the financial relevance of climate discussions

“With EarthScan, we can instantly access trusted climate risk data, saving us time and ensuring our clients get reliable insights to build resilience.”
— Ash Ranu, Chief Risk Officer, Sustain 2050

The team is also exploring additional EarthScan capabilities, including flood map visualisations, to deepen support for Australian organisations and expand across new use cases.

What’s next?

Climate risk is now a financial issue. Sustain 2050 is helping organisations respond with speed, scale and trusted insights.
