PHYSICAL RISK
Physical Climate Risks
Physical climate risks arise from direct exposure to climate-related hazards. Frontierra's Climate & Nature Intelligence Platform evaluates over 35 hazard types across acute and chronic risk categories.
Each assessment is tied to the precise footprints of your assets, not a sector or regional average. This location-level precision sets Frontierra apart, and is what separates a meaningful climate risk assessment from a generic indicator. It is exactly what frameworks such as ISSB S2 and the EU Taxonomy's Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) requirements demand.
Acute hazards
Flooding, wildfires, tropical cyclones, extreme heat events, droughts and landslides
Chronic hazards
Rising temperatures, sea-level rise, changing precipitation patterns, water stress and ocean acidification
TRANSITION RISK
Climate Transition Risks
Climate transition risks emerge as economies and regulations adapt to a lower-carbon world.
Policy and regulatory risk
Exposure to evolving legislation such as the EU Taxonomy, CSRD and carbon pricing mechanisms
Market and reputational risk
Changing investor, customer and stakeholder expectations around climate performance
Stranded asset risk
Assets that may lose value as climate-related regulation or physical conditions shift
Frontierra assesses transition risk in the context of current and anticipated regulatory trajectories, helping clients identify which assets face the greatest exposure and enabling them to plan accordingly.
SCENARIO ANALYSIS
Climate Scenario Analysis
Climate scenario analysis models how risks evolve under different future warming pathways. It is a core requirement of ISSB S2 which was built on and supersedes TCFD, the framework that informed the design of most national climate disclosure regulations. ISSB S2 requires organisations to assess their exposure under at least two climate scenarios, including one consistent with a 1.5°C or 2°C pathway, and as a result now forms the basis of mandatory climate reporting in a growing number of jurisdictions.
Frontierra runs scenario analysis using IPCC-aligned climate projections, including SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5, at the asset location level. Rather than applying sector-wide assumptions, our platform models how each specific site performs across multiple climate futures, surfacing which assets are resilient across scenarios and which face escalating risk under warming trajectories.
This granular, location-specific scenario analysis supports the disclosure and decision-making requirements of ISSB, TCFD and EU Taxonomy at both the asset and portfolio level.
Get in touch to find out how Frontierra's scenario analysis can support in stress-testing the resilience of your assets and portfolios under different climate scenarios.
COMPLIANCE
Frameworks, Standards and Regulations
Frontierra's climate risk assessment service is designed to support disclosure and compliance requirements of multiple climate-related frameworks.
ISSB / IFRS S2 / TCFD
IFRS S2 is the global baseline standard for climate-related financial disclosures, developed by the ISSB, consolidating and superseding the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework (TCFD). A growing number of jurisdictions, including the UK, Australia, and others, have adopted or are in the process of adopting ISSB S2-aligned mandatory disclosure requirements.
IFRS S2 requires entities to disclose information about climate-related risks and opportunities, including scenario analysis and quantitative risk metrics. Outputs from Frontierra's Climate & Nature Intelligence Platform are structured to support ISSB-aligned reporting.
EU Taxonomy
The EU Taxonomy's do no significant harm (DNSH) criteria require a Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) for many eligible economic activities. Frontierra's platform is built to deliver CRVA-standard outputs, including forward-looking scenario analysis across the required hazard categories.
CSRD / ESRS E1
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires large companies to disclose climate-related risks and their financial impacts under ESRS E1. Frontierra's climate assessments provide the underlying data and analysis required to complete these disclosures.
Paris Agreement
The methodologies used to demonstrate Paris Alignment require that material climate risks are identified and assessed. Frontierra's location-specific physical risk analysis provides the evidence base required to satisfy this core component of demonstrating Paris alignment.
SEC Climate Disclosures
For organisations with SEC reporting obligations, Frontierra's physical risk analysis supports disclosure of material climate-related risks, consistent with the SEC's climate disclosure requirements.
CLIENTS

Asset managers, banks and insurers conducting pre-investment due diligence, portfolio-level risk screening and mandatory ISSB or CSRD reporting
Corporates
Businesses with CSRD, ISSB or TCFD disclosure obligations requiring location-level physical and transition risk data across their operations or supply chains
Real asset developers
Project teams assessing site-level climate hazard exposure to proactively mitigate risk, meet investor requirements and plan for long-term asset resilience
Related Climate Services
Climate risk does not exist in isolation. Frontierra's platform integrates climate and nature risk within a single assessment - covering both exposure to nature-related risks and opportunities for nature-positive practices across your assets. For organisations with complex global supply chains, our value chain mapping service traces climate and nature risks to their source - identifying where in your supply chain exposure is highest.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A climate risk assessment identifies how climate-related hazards (flooding, extreme heat, drought, sea-level rise) could affect a specific asset, portfolio, or business operation. It covers both physical risks (direct hazard exposure) and transitional risks (regulatory or market shifts as economies decarbonise). Transitional risk assessment draws on country-level policy and regulatory inputs, while physical risk analysis is tied to the precise location and spatial footprint of each asset. Frontierra's assessments combine both, providing a more complete and accurate picture than tools that rely on sector- or regional-level averages alone.
-
Most tools assess risk at a sector, country, or regional level. A smaller niche incorporates site-level co-ordinates. Very few take into account the exact spatial footprint of each site. Frontierra uses satellite data and geospatial analysis tied to the precise location and extent of each asset, reflecting actual location characteristics rather than broad averages. Climate and nature risks are also integrated within a single platform, giving a more complete picture of environmental exposure.
-
Nature risk refers to the threats a business faces when the natural systems it depends on, such as clean water, pollination, healthy soil, or stable land cover, are degraded or lost. Nature opportunity refers to the potential for businesses to improve their performance, resilience, and reputation by adopting practices that restore or protect those systems.
An estimated half of global GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature, yet nature-related exposure is rarely visible in traditional financial analysis. Frontierra maps both risk and opportunity at the asset level, using satellite-derived metrics and proprietary indicators to give businesses a clear, evidence-based starting point for understanding their relationship with nature and meeting emerging disclosure requirements such as the TNFD.
-
The EUDR requires companies placing specific commodities on the EU market to verify they were not produced on land deforested after 31 December 2020. While the current regulation applies primarily to commodity operators and traders, financial institutions are explicitly referenced within the legislation — Article 34 acknowledges the role of financing in driving deforestation and confirms that an expansion of scope to include financial institutions will be reviewed in a future phase. FIs with exposure to deforestation-linked supply chains should therefore treat EUDR compliance as an emerging obligation, not a peripheral concern. Our assessments provide the spatial evidence and documentation needed to support compliance today, and to prepare for the regulatory expectations that are likely to follow.
-
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is a global framework for identifying and disclosing nature dependencies and impacts. As a TNFD Forum and Data Catalyst member, Frontierra has delivered TNFD pilot projects for leading financial institutions and built its Climate and Nature Intelligence Platform to support the TNFD LEAP approach (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, and Prepare).
-
Frontierra's services support ISSB S1 and S2, TCFD, EU Taxonomy (including CRVA requirements), SFDR, TNFD, and EUDR. Regulatory alignment is a key output — but the primary value is helping clients understand and manage the underlying risks, not just report on them. Get in touch to discuss your specific requirements.
