The CSRD requires reporting on both common and lesser-known climate hazards. But now, ClimateScore™ Global is expanding its capabilities for CSRD compliance. Jupiter has long provided access to data on common perils like flood, wildfire, and drought. As part of our CSRD Module launch, Jupiter now offers metrics for lesser-occurring perils like coastal erosion, permafrost thaw, and soil erosion to support more comprehensive CSRD compliance.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandates that companies assess and report on a wide spectrum of climate risks, including both frequently occurring hazards (e.g., floods, hurricanes, wildfires) and lesser-occurring hazards (e.g., permafrost thaw, subsidence, and soil erosion).
To meet compliance, organizations must identify which CSRD-required hazards are relevant to their business and disclose their financial and operational risks accordingly.
Coastal Erosion: Rising Seas, Retreating Shorelines
What’s Happening?
Sea level rise, driven by melting glaciers, ice sheet loss, and ocean thermal expansion, accelerates coastal erosion. This leads to shoreline retreat, threatening infrastructure and economic stability.
Industries Most Affected:
- Real Estate & Infrastructure – Coastal properties face devaluation or destruction.
- Energy & Utilities – Power plants and offshore facilities must adapt to changing shorelines.
- Fisheries & Biodiversity – Coastal habitat loss affects ecosystems and local economies.
Water Temperature & Water Stress: The Climate’s Impact on Resources
What’s Happening?
Rising global temperatures are driving increases in both marine and freshwater temperatures, affecting cooling efficiency, water quality, and regulatory compliance. Simultaneously, water stress which is caused by shifting rainfall patterns and growing demand, impacts water availability.
Industries Most Affected:
- Heavy Industry & Power Plants – Cooling systems depend on stable water temperatures.
- Agriculture – Crop yields suffer due to irrigation challenges and rising temperatures.
- Oil & Gas – Offshore rigs face biofouling and corrosion risks due to warmer waters.
Permafrost Thaw: A Threat to Arctic Infrastructure
What’s Happening?
Rising temperatures are causing permafrost to thaw, destabilizing buildings, roads, and pipelines while releasing methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Industries Most Affected:
- Construction & Infrastructure – Arctic roads and buildings face collapse.
- Oil & Gas – Pipelines and drilling operations face ground instability.
- Logistics & Transportation – Supply chains relying on frozen ground infrastructure are increasingly vulnerable.
Landslides, Subsidence, and Soil Erosion: Ground Instability Risks
What’s Happening?
Changing weather patterns are increasing landslides, ground subsidence, and soil erosion, causing disruptions to agriculture, infrastructure, and industrial operations.
Industries Most Affected:
- Transportation & Infrastructure – Roads, bridges, and railways face heightened risks.
- Mining & Heavy Industry – Soil erosion impacts waste storage and runoff management.
- Agriculture – Soil loss leads to declining crop yields and water pollution.
Tornadoes & Blizzards: Shifting Patterns
What’s Happening?
Shifting wind patterns due to climate change are increasing tornado intensity and altering blizzard patterns, leading to greater damage and disruption.
Industries Most Affected:
- Real Estate & Construction – Buildings face higher storm damage risks.
- Logistics & Supply Chain – Shipping delays and transportation failures rise.
- Retail & Manufacturing – Production halts and inventory losses increase.
