    Businesses face unprecedented challenges due to climate risks which, according to a representative survey of global economic experts by the World Economic Forum, are considered to be the greatest business challenges of the next decade.

    And they aren’t just one of many concerns—on the contrary, climate- and environmentally-related risks occupy four of the top five positions among business risks. This makes climate risks by far the greatest threat for the next decade. Businesses must therefore prioritise this issue by understanding, measuring, and actively managing these risks to ensure long-term resilience and success.

    This is where you, as a consulting firm, play a crucial role. Provide your clients with strategic guidance based on internationally recognised forecasting models that leverage Munich Re’s renowned data. Equip your clients with a data-driven foundation for informed decision-making and decisive action—securing their profitability, competitiveness, and reputation.

    Turn your clients’ five biggest challenges into your own five greatest success factors

    We support you in tackling the unavoidable challenges posed by climate change with our risk assessment solutions, built on our extensive expertise in climate and natural hazards.

    Munich Re’s Location Risk Intelligence provides you with its Natural Hazards Edition and Climate Change Edition, enabling you to assess individual assets or entire portfolios for hundreds of climate risks and multiple projection models, extending up to the year 2100.

    With our Financial Impact Edition you can even quantify the financial implications of these risks. And for regulatory reporting—now mandatory for many of your clients—our Reporting Edition offers you and your clients a reliable and targeted solution for the full integration of climate risks into your reporting, ensuring compliance with supervisory authority guidelines.

    Many companies lack a clear understanding of the climate risks threatening their locations, supply chains, or investments. Data is often fragmented or difficult to interpret.

    How you can support your clients in assessing their risk exposure with Location Risk Intelligence:

    • Create detailed risk assessments for individual sites or entire portfolios based on 250+ climate risk scores.
    • Use interactive dashboards to simplify complex risk correlations and provide clients with transparent insights.
    • Present future risk developments through projections extending to 2100, based on recognised IPCC scenarios.

    For businesses, translating abstract climate risks into financial metrics is challenging, making it difficult to understand their economic cost or loss impact and to make informed strategic investment decisions.

    How you can support your clients in quantifying the financial impact of climate risks with Location Risk Intelligence:

    • Use the Climate Financial Impact Edition of Location Risk Intelligence to financially assess the climate risks your client’s company is exposed to—including the calculation of Climate Expected Loss.
    • Provide scientifically backed insights to illustrate how extreme weather events or long-term changes affect operating costs, revenues, and infrastructure.
    • Enable your clients to proactively plan targeted investments in risk mitigation measures with detailed assessments from Location Risk Intelligence.

    More and more companies are required to disclose climate risks in compliance with EU Taxonomy, CSRD, TCFD, or ISSB regulations. However, many struggle to determine what data they need or how to integrate it into their reports.

    How you can support your clients in climate risk reporting with Location Risk Intelligence:

    • Generate regulatory-compliant climate risk reports in just a few clicks using Reporting Edition.
    • Ensure your clients pass audits effortlessly by providing key metrics in predefined formats.
    • Help your clients to document climate-related risks accurately, build trust with investors and regulators, and efficiently meet compliance requirements.

    Many companies still do not perceive climate risks as an urgent issue, or simply lack the know-how to implement effective climate adaptation strategies. In many cases, internal expertise is limited, or there is scepticism about the reliability of the data—hindering the approval of necessary budgets and the adoption of protective measures.

    How you can support your clients in integrating climate risks into strategic decisions with Location Risk Intelligence:

    • Use the visualisation tools in Location Risk Intelligence to make risks tangible with interactive maps.
    • Simulate various scenarios to demonstrate how climate risks could impact the business and how proactive climate risk management can help minimise risks, reduce costs, and create competitive advantages.
    • Give your clients exclusive access to the scientifically validated data of Munich Re—one of the world’s most renowned reinsurers—and position yourself as a forward-thinking consulting firm that offers real, measurable value beyond the industry standard.

    Many companies treat climate risks in isolation instead of integrating them into their strategic and investment decisions. With flexible APIs and reliable scenario analyses, your clients can seamlessly embed climate risk data into their existing risk and decision-making models—whether for site assessment, risk management, or investment strategies.

    How you can support your clients in integrating climate risk data into their risk management systems with Location Risk Intelligence:

    • Use flexible API interfaces to integrate climate risk data directly into your clients’ existing systems—for applications such as risk analyses, insurance assessments, property valuations, or investment strategies.
    • Location Risk Intelligence supplies data in all standard formats, enabling you to provide your clients with reliable, trustworthy data for their risk modelling and business reports.
    • Empower your clients to incorporate climate risks as a key factor in their business planning and strategic processes.

    How Location Risk Intelligence and its editions support you in your daily business

    The modular SaaS solution, with its various editions, helps you incorporate climate-related impacts into your own or your clients’ strategic decisions—ensuring that natural disasters, climate change and its consequences are properly taken into account. 

    By entering individual locations or uploading entire portfolios into Location Risk Intelligence, you can easily analyse, visualise, compare, and document natural hazards and climate risks with meaningful reports. Location Risk Intelligence not only enables you to identify current and future climate risks, but also to assess the financial impacts of climate change—allowing you to recommend strategic actions that effectively secure your clients’ long-term success.

    This edition will not only help you, as a consultant, to understand your clients’ asset exposure to current physical risks but, more importantly, to analyse and assess the physical risks associated with climate change across various future scenarios. In short: it’s the ideal tool for communicating complex risks to your clients in a clear and comprehensible way.

    Climate Change Edition takes into account both acute and chronic climate risks and provides insights into 13 climate hazard scores, leading into 250+ results. Unlike Natural Hazards Edition, these risk scores are not solely based on past events but also incorporate projected changes in the frequency and intensity of future events under different climate scenarios.

    This is the ideal solution if you wish to reliably quantify the financial impacts of physical climate risks and help the companies you advise to identify both potential damage and investment requirements at an early stage.

    Built on one of the world’s most comprehensive natural hazards databases, along with hazard modelling across various climate scenarios, this edition provides detailed insights into physical risk exposure and the expected financial impacts of climate change (Climate Expected Loss) for any location—worldwide.

    Reporting Edition for Physical Climate Risks is an out-of-the-box solution designed to help you create transparency around physical climate risks and meet the growing demands of ESG reporting and audits that your clients are confronted with.

    Generate comprehensive, regulatory-compliant reports with just a few clicks—perfect for companies subject to reporting requirements under the CSRD, EU Taxonomy, TCFD, or ISSB.
