Climate Change Risk Index (C2RI)  is developed as a combination of location hazard and assets vulnerabilities.  

Key Features 

• Global coverage for extreme climate perils
• Combination of Risk Indicators (i.e., Hazard Index) and Risk Indices (i.e., Combined Hazard and Vulnerability) for more informed decision making
• Risk Indices specific to users’ asset classes
• By location 10 indices for each peril

Climate Change Crop Risk (C3R) model for India estimates crop yield by applying scientific approach to understand the relationships between geographic location, soil condition and climatic variables on different crop types. 

Key Features  

• Covers 28 states and 8 Union Territories 
• Aggregated risk at village level 
• Yield and production modelling of all major crops from Rabi and Kharif seasons 

Approach

The model estimate crops’ energy requirement at different stages of the crop development by considering 

• Location and soil data, 
• Daily climatic data, and 
• Crop management practices data.

Climate Scenarios

• Present
• CMIP6 model projections for SSP2-4.5 
• CMIP6 model projections for SSP5-8.5

NAT CAT & Exposure Management 

Our NATCAT consulting services are tailored to the unique needs of each client. We provide support to client's Cat modelling operations by 

• Data validation and exposure hazard analysis and exposure summary report, by analysing vendor’s exposure database e.g., EDM, CEDE
• Insurance and reinsurance portfolio modelling using vendor Cat modelling platforms e.g., RiskLink, Risk Modeler, Touchstone, SoloKat
• Loss analysis and create loss summary reports
• Portfolio and risk optimisation.

Model Evaluation and validation  

We help our clients to assess NATCAT models by conducting validation and evaluation of the models offered by different vendors. 

• Review of model documentation and scientific research publications for specific country - peril to validate hazard and vulnerability components for the model.
• Perform sensitivity analysis considering various occupancy - construction combinations to assess the impact of model changes.
• Assessing the impact of model changes on client’s in-force book of business, by running their insurance / reinsurance portfolios and develop comparison reports. 
• Analyze exposure and claims data to provide insights into client’s risk profile and help to design their own view of risk.

Industry exposure and loss update

We help our clients to understand the industry exposure and loss contribution of their book of business for different geographies. 

• Help in developing industry exposures using publicly available data and validating the exposures.
• Help in updating industry loss and markets share estimates, and develop reports to explain the changes.

Climate Compliances and Declarations 

Our team has the expertise to understand various climate related compliances and declarations applicable to different geographies. We help businesses across various industries achieve their Climate compliance and sustainability goals. 

Climate Analytics and Model development  

We believe in detail analysis of climate change impact. We focus every component of climate change risk assessment starting from climate model evaluation, hazard index calculation and quantification of climate acute and chronic risk. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and develop solutions that are tailored to their unique challenges. 

Climate Model Evaluation  

We help our clients to assess climate models by conducting detailed evaluation of the models offered by different institutions under CMIP6. 

• Extensive literature review of CMIP6 GCMs performance evaluation of covering different hydro-climatic variables & geographies
•  Identify key metrics based on their ability in capturing important climatic features such as, long-term trend, inter-annual variability and seasonality.  
• Methodology development to perform grid-wise evaluation of CMIP6 GCMs. 
• Ranking of GCMs based on overall performance score 
• Formulation of ensemble mechanism to integrate the ranks of GCMs for each grid point into a consensus .
