CLIMATE RISK ANALYSIS Software

Assess Physical Climate Risks by Location—Traceable Through the Audit Process

With the FramesCube Climate Risk Analysis module, you can assess all 28 climate hazards listed in the EU Taxonomy for each location, across three climate scenarios and three time horizons. Each classification shows which indicator triggered it. You can document adaptation solutions in the same system.

Challenges

Typical Challenges in Conducting Climate Risk Analyses

The workload increases with each location

One spreadsheet per location, copied by hand. With twelve locations, that quickly adds up to over 3,000 individual ratings—and the file becomes unmanageable.

Lack of Traceability

The reason a location is classified as “high” lies in complex formulas. Auditors cannot understand the classification without breaking down the file.

Missing data looks like zero values

If a value is missing, tables automatically set it to zero. As a result, it is no longer possible to distinguish between a true zero value and a missing entry.

Adaptation solutions remain unimplemented

Measures are maintained in separate files. Their implementation status is not factored back into the evaluation and is therefore not included in the documentation.

Advantages

Your Benefits with CONSUST

Climate-related risks covered

All climate hazards according to Annex I, Appendix A of the EU Taxonomy, categorized by chronic and acute hazards, as well as by temperature, wind, water, and solids.

Combinations

Three climate scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and three time horizons can be compared using a toggle switch, rather than placing files side by side.

visible derivation

Each evaluation displays the indicator, measured value, threshold, and the specific value that triggered the action. Rule-based, rather than hidden in formulas.

Consistent data set

The climate dataset is frozen and versioned. Years later, the same analysis yields the same result, complete with the date and the person responsible.

Process

5 Steps to a Robust Climate Risk Analysis

This module follows the approach we use in our climate risk analysis consulting services: the requirements of the EU Taxonomy Regulation, the 2022 guidelines from the Federal Environment Agency, and DIN EN ISO 14091.

Step 1

Record Locations and Determine Lifespan

Enter the geographic coordinates and specify whether the economic activity has a lifespan of more than or less than 10 years. Break down the sites into system elements such as buildings, production processes, access, and utilities.

Step 2

Conduct a three-step screening of the internal situation

The module derives spatial screening and system element screening from the data. Only the impact screening remains a technical decision. Any deviation from the proposal is documented along with the rationale.

Step 3

Analyzing Scientific Climate Data

For each combination of location, hazard, scenario, and time horizon, the corresponding climate indicators are classified against predefined threshold values. The matrix displays the results for all locations side by side.

Step 4

Assess Vulnerability and Determine Climate Risk

A site questionnaire assesses local vulnerability. Climate risk—the metric that should be included in the report—is determined by climate hazards and the effectiveness of the adaptation measures implemented.

Step 5

Document and track customization solutions

A catalog containing more than 100 structural and organizational measures is available. You maintain the implementation status for each location; outstanding items appear in the FramesCube action tracking system.

FAQ

Your Questions About Climate Risk Analysis. Our Answers.

There are many unanswered questions surrounding climate risk analysis. Here, we answer the most common ones and show how CONSUST can support you in implementing it.

What climate-related risks does the software cover?

The module lists all 28 climate hazards specified in Annex I, Appendix A of the Climate Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, categorized as chronic or acute and further classified by temperature, wind, water, and solids. In addition, other hazards relevant to Europe are included, such as changes in humidity or falling water levels.

Where does the climate data come from?

Our partner Correntics provides the location-specific climate hazard data. This data is based on global and regional climate models from CMIP6, as well as additional specialized datasets on flooding, water scarcity, and tropical cyclones. The analysis is conducted for the SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios.

What is the difference between a climate hazard and a climate risk?

Climate hazard refers solely to the site’s exposure—that is, what the climate data reveal. Climate risk, on the other hand, also takes into account vulnerability—that is, the site’s susceptibility—and the adaptation measures already implemented. Climate risk is the key factor for reporting purposes. The module reports on both metrics separately and highlights which measures have which effects.

What happens with climate hazards for which there is no data?

For some of the hazards—including tornadoes, coastal erosion, and soil degradation—no dataset currently provides a reliable indicator. The module classifies these hazards as a separate status to be “assessed qualitatively” rather than as a data gap. You enter a technical assessment with justification there—exactly the information the exam asks for.

Do I need additional advice?

That depends on how much in-house expertise is available. The software guides you through the process and provides recommendations for screening and actions. During the first run, many companies supplement the analysis with our climate risk analysis consulting services, particularly when it comes to vulnerability assessments and selecting adaptation solutions. After that, they continue the analysis on their own.

How does the module fit into the EU taxonomy and the CSRD?

The climate risk analysis provides evidence for the DNSH criterion “Adaptation to Climate Change” in the EU Taxonomy and feeds into the climate-related disclosures required by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), specifically Standard ESRS E1. The results are available in the FramesCube modules “EU Taxonomy” and “CSRD” without requiring you to re-enter data.
