Insights That Turn
Climate Risk Data
into Resilience

Financial institutions and investors can now measure physical risk from extreme weather, but few can act on it. Adaptation is often relegated to high-level strategy or third-party consultants, leaving capital decisions disconnected from adaptive potential. That’s changing. New tools now allow asset managers, private equity firms, real estate investors, and banks to quantify the ROI of resilience at the asset level, making adaptation a capital strategy, not just an ESG goal.

Hurricane Melissa has become one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded, striking Jamaica with catastrophic winds and rainfall before moving on to Cuba, the Bahamas, and Bermuda. As of October 30, at least 29 people have died – most in Jamaica and Haiti – and more than 75% of Jamaica remains without power. The storm’s devastation comes just one year after Hurricane Beryl caused nearly $1 billion in damage. With ocean temperatures now supercharging storms like Melissa, the Caribbean faces a growing challenge: recovery time is shrinking as storm intensity and frequency rise.

From Japan to Ireland, chronic and acute heat are rewriting the risk map — and challenging assumptions about who’s prepared. Summer 2025 shattered global temperature records and exposed vulnerabilities in health, energy, and infrastructure systems not built for sustained extremes. No geography is immune, and resilience now depends on adapting faster than the heat is rising.

Jupiter’s contribution to the World Cup 2026 Climate Action Campaign helps Football For Future and Common Goal underscore the grave threats that our changing climate pose to The Beautiful Game and our planet itself. Today–and tomorrow.

Katrina-level flood events are projected to become increasingly common across the Gulf region over the course of this century. In central New Orleans, the annual probability of such a flood will triple between 2025 and 2100, while along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the likelihood is expected to rise by a factor of 1.5 to 3. At the same time, flood damages will steadily escalate, even with stronger defenses in place. For the Mississippi Gulf, losses climb throughout the century, and while protections around New Orleans may initially reduce damages from smaller floods, a Katrina-scale event could overtop the levees as early as 2065—causing devastating consequences.

With Adaptation and CEM at the center, complemented by expanded metric capabilities, Jupiter is redefining what it means to act on climate risk. This is what climate intelligence looks like when it’s built for investment action.

The July 4, 2025 floods in Texas Hill Country weren’t just a tragedy; they were a warning. ClimateScore Global projections show that intense rainfall and extreme flood depths are increasing, even in places where annual precipitation may stay the same. Risk professionals must shift from averages to extremes and adopt high-resolution, climate-informed flood analytics to stay ahead.

June 2025’s Northeast heatwave broke records and the heat was 2–5 times more likely due to climate change. Events like this are becoming the new normal. Organizations need forward-looking climate data to stay resilient.

Climate risk analytics isn't just about sophisticated science—it's about creating real impact when it matters most. As organizations worldwide grapple with escalating climate challenges, from wildfire-driven insurance crises to unprecedented flooding events, the need for trusted, actionable climate intelligence has never been more critical. This year's wave of industry recognition reflects what our partners and customers experience daily: Jupiter's science-first approach delivers the clarity needed to navigate an uncertain climate future. Let's explore what these honors tell us about the evolving landscape of climate technology and resilience.

More banks are planning for climate disruption. Here’s why: severe weather events linked to climate change are increasing in both frequency and financial cost. In response, top banks are beginning to integrate forward-looking climate risk models into portfolio management, no longer relying on outdated models and assumptions.

Climate risk is no longer just a looming threat — it's a significant business opportunity. But for many financial institutions, the challenge lies not in recognizing this potential but in operationalizing it. The bottleneck? Model Risk Management (MRM).

Jupiter’s latest report, The Climate Bubble, reveals an alarming reality: the U.S. housing market is currently on shaky ground. From the Sun Belt to the Midwest, millions of homes are exposed to alarming wind and wildfire risk. Yet these risks remain largely invisible in current insurance market data and home valuations.

Rising global temperatures are more than a climate concern; they pose a significant and immediate risk to productivity, operational efficiency, and human health. With the Earth warming at an unprecedented rate, heat stress is becoming a direct challenge for businesses and industries worldwide. This blog will explore how heat stress impacts various facets of operations, the critical thresholds for safety and productivity, and why businesses need to act now to mitigate the risks.

Using Jupiter's ClimateScore™ Global, the blog post analyzes 30 U.S. manufacturing megaprojects. It identifies sites with high current and future climate risks, particularly in Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma, alongside areas like New York and Michigan facing significant projected increases in climate exposure.

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.

Co-authored by Sébastien Burgess, Senior Principal Solutions Architect at Jupiter, this study examines climate-related risks to European energy infrastructure, highlighting the importance of asset-level evaluation and customized solutions.

The CSRD mandates over 50,000 companies to disclose physical climate risks under ESRS E1. To simplify compliance, Jupiter launched the ClimateScore Global CSRD Module, offering hazard analytics, financial impact assessments, and CSRD-ready reports — ensuring fast, precise reporting.
