This page is primarily intended for audiences, such as data innovators, who want to use government data to develop tools to help others learn about the impacts of climate change or make decisions in which climate change plays a role.

This website provides information about, and gives access to, a suite of scenarios produced as input to the U.S. National Climate Assessment.

This article discusses 3 questions: 1) To what extent were oil and gas companies already following the TCFD recommendations using existing guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)?, 2) If most (all) companies show a large gap in complying with the TCFD recommendations, would closing this gap result in increased legal liabilities from disclosure?, and 3) What needs to be done to facilitate adoption of the TCFD recommendations?

Some practical insight and experiences shared by Global consultancy Anthesis Group, as they support companies to implement the TCFD’s recommendations. The emphasis of this article is more on the ‘how’ rather than the ‘what’ or the ‘why’, as companies that are now starting to engage and encounter common challenges.

This paper outlines the methodology for a proposed 2°C scenario analysis framework, and the resulting ranking of oil and gas companies based on their exposure to climate-related financial risk.

This report surveys the current state of asset-level climate data in 9 sectors. While only a sample of existing data across 9 climate-relevant sectors, this report answers questions like: Which climate performance data are already available in the market for the most important climate related sectors? What are the key underlying sources for this data and what are the implications for data quality and reliability? What are the key barriers for financial institutions and policymakers in terms of access? What is the way forward to create comprehensive and cost-effective access to climate data?

This technical brief unpacks the process through which raw climate data is transformed into usable metrics, such as future temperature projections, to help financial, corporate and government users incorporate climate-based analytics into their physical risk assessment and disclosure processes.

A review of disclosures from 50 asset owners in France in response to Art. 173. The analysis shows only a quarter of respondents included substantial analysis and metrics on their exposure to physical impacts of climate change and discusses the approaches used by those that did assess physical climate risk.

This blog article discusses how Science-Based Targets are aligned with the requirements of the TCFD disclosure recommendations.

The latest report by the AODP assesses the insurance sector response to the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and features an index of the world’s 80 largest insurers rated on their approach to climate-related risks and opportunities.

This report demonstrates how to capture the complex reality of today’s diverse and intertwined “eco-agrifood” systems in order to evaluate their performance in a holistic manner to support decision-making, avoiding the risks and limitations inherent in simplistic metrics such as “per hectare productivity”.

The TEEBAgriFood study is designed to (1) provide a comprehensive economic evaluation of the eco-agri-food systems’ complex, and (2) demonstrate that the economic environment in which farmers operate is distorted by significant externalities, both negative and positive, and a lack of awareness of dependency on natural, social, human and produced capitals.
