Jupiter in the news

“Jupiter’s AI-powered climate models provide a valuable layer to JLL‘s Decarbonization Strategy Services,” said Guy Grainger, Global Head of Sustainability Services and ESG for JLL. “Our Decarbonization Services help owners and occupiers create a clear investment roadmap to reduce harmful emissions and enhance value in their portfolio. Layering in Jupiter’s gold standard climate risk analytics allows us to also measure what might be happening in the environment and how that could impact overall real estate valuation and decarbonization efforts.”

DP World has conducted a pioneering study, in collaboration with Jupiter and Guidehouse, assessing the impact of climate change on its global network of Ports and Terminals (P&Ts) through to the end of the century, as it urges other supply chain players to map their own climate resilience status.

Rich Sorkin, CEO and co-founder of climate risk analytics firm Jupiter Intelligence, agreed that insurers can no longer rely solely on "backward-looking" historical data models given the unprecedented threats of climate change. Jupiter uses AI to integrate data from leading climate models, local terrain, infrastructure vulnerability assessments, and damage estimates. This helps insurers understand risk over the lifetime of assets, rather than just annually.

While much of the world is focused on decarbonization — as it should be — there is a significant looming and highly overlooked danger organizations face today, says Rich Sorkin of Jupiter Intelligence. And, he says, it’s one that can have significant effects on our global economy: physical climate risk.

“Forecasts for rapid intensification used to be rare, but as scientific knowledge and forecast skill continue to incrementally improve, we can expect to see more such forecasts,” said Rich Sorkin, chief executive of Jupiter Intelligence, which tracks climate risk.

“In some cases, homeowners won’t be able to get coverage, or they will have to pay more, or they will have less reliable coverage,” said Rich Sorkin, chief executive of Jupiter Intelligence, a climate risk analytics company.

Here’s how scientists measure the extreme temperatures currently scorching 44% of the world’s oceans. “You can kind of think of El Niño and La Niña as a toggle war in the tropical Pacific,” said Hillary Scannell, an oceanographer and data scientist at Jupiter Intelligence. With La Niña, “cold water gets upwelled along the South American coast and that cold ocean temperature kind of acts as air conditioning to the climate system.” Now that that’s over, El Niño is taking over with its warm waters, disrupting atmospheric circulation and weather worldwide.

Climate risk can be tough to quantify, but doing so has grown in importance due to regulatory attention and increased difficulty obtaining property insurance coverage for it. In response, Fannie Mae Chief Climate Officer Tim Judge is using his background in analytics and modeling to try to predict and address its impact on the government-sponsored enterprise's sizable mortgage portfolio.

A jury verdict that found an Oregon power company liable for devastating wildfires — and potentially billions of dollars in damages — is highlighting the legal and financial risks utilities take if they fail to take proper precautions in a hotter, drier climate. Josh Hacker, chief science officer at Jupiter, said of lawsuit damages. “This is an enormous challenge. Now it’s biting them. And in the end it’s going to bite all of us, because they have to recover that expense.”

Jupiter, the trusted leader in climate risk analytics, announced its renewed partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Colombia, as part of The Jupiter Promise program.
