Jupiter sets new standard for climate risk analytics

July 23, 2025

Jupiter Intelligence has launched a significant upgrade to its ClimateScore™ Global platform, marking what it calls a new benchmark in investment-grade climate analytics.

The enhancements arrive amid growing global concern about the financial toll of climate-related disasters. As extreme weather events increase in both frequency and severity, financial institutions are under mounting pressure to evaluate the exposure of their assets and ensure that climate risk is factored into investment and lending decisions. Jupiter is positioning its platform as the next step for those seeking both strategic advantage and regulatory compliance through actionable climate intelligence, it said.

Four new tools have been added to the ClimateScore Global platform. ‘Jupiter Adaptation’ enables institutions to calculate avoided losses and determine the return on investment across more than ten adaptation strategies.

‘Jupiter Entity Modeling’ delivers risk insights tied to specific investment vehicles such as securities, funds, and corporates.

‘Jupiter MetricEngine’ provides dynamic modelling outputs tailored to specific scenarios, including drought patterns or synthetic weather years.

Finally, the new ‘Subsidence Peril Metric’ estimates the annual damage to properties built on clay-rich soils, accounting for soil moisture fluctuations and foundation materials.

Jupiter Intelligence co-founder and CEO Rich Sorkin said, “For nearly a decade Jupiter has provided the world’s largest financial institutions and investment managers with the best and most trusted understanding of the risks associated with climate change. Now we are setting new standards for how climate risk informs capital strategy.

“These platform advances ensure that customers have the tools needed to lead their sectors in climate-informed decision-making with the precision and defensibility that investment committees, regulators, and boards now require.”

The latest additions build upon Jupiter’s global presence. Its solutions are already used by 20% of the world’s largest companies, including half of the biggest lenders in the US and a quarter of the top global financial institutions.

For asset managers, the platform supports resilience planning across entire portfolios, while private equity firms can assess climate risk during due diligence and weigh up sell-versus-hold decisions. Banks, on the other hand, benefit from modelling tools that aid stress testing, regulatory compliance, and underwriting.
