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.

consust framescube climate risk analysis software: record locations

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.

consust framescube climate risk analysis software three-step screening

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.

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.

consust framescube climate risk analysis software vulnerability analysis

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.

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.

Welche Klimagefahren deckt die Software ab?

Das Modul führt alle 28 Klimagefahren, die in Anhang I Anlage A der Klima-Delegierten-Verordnung (EU) 2021/2139 aufgeführt sind, gegliedert nach chronisch und akut sowie nach Temperatur, Wind, Wasser und Feststoffen. Ergänzend sind weitere in Europa relevante Gefahren hinterlegt, etwa veränderte Luftfeuchtigkeit oder sinkende Wasserstände.

Woher stammen die Klimadaten?

Die standortbezogenen Klimagefahrdaten liefert unser Partner Correntics. Grundlage sind globale und regionale Klimamodelle aus dem CMIP6 sowie weitere Fachdatensätze für Hochwasser, Wasserknappheit und tropische Wirbelstürme. Die Auswertung erfolgt für die Szenarien SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 und SSP5-8.5.

Was unterscheidet Klimagefahr und Klimarisiko?

Die Klimagefahr beschreibt allein die Exposition am Standort, also das, was die Klimadaten hergeben. Das Klimarisiko berücksichtigt zusätzlich die Vulnerabilität, also die Anfälligkeit des Standorts und die bereits umgesetzten Anpassungslösungen. Für die Berichterstattung ist das Klimarisiko maßgeblich. Das Modul weist beide Größen getrennt aus und macht sichtbar, welche Maßnahme welche Wirkung entfaltet.

Was passiert mit Klimagefahren, für die es keine Daten gibt?

Für einen Teil der Gefahren, darunter Tornado, Küstenerosion und Bodendegradierung, liefert derzeit kein Datensatz einen belastbaren Indikator. Das Modul führt diese Gefahren als eigenen Zustand „qualitativ zu bewerten“ und nicht als Datenlücke. Sie hinterlegen dort eine fachliche Einschätzung mit Begründung – genau die Stelle, nach der in der Prüfung gefragt wird.

Brauche ich zusätzlich Beratung?

Das hängt davon ab, wie viel Erfahrung im Haus vorhanden ist. Die Software führt durch den Prozess und liefert Vorschläge für Screening und Maßnahmen. Beim ersten Durchlauf begleiten viele Unternehmen die Analyse mit unserer Klimarisikoanalyse-Beratung, insbesondere bei der Vulnerabilitätsbewertung und der Auswahl der Anpassungslösungen. Danach führen Sie die Analyse eigenständig fort.

Wie fügt sich das Modul in EU-Taxonomie und CSRD ein?

Die Klimarisikoanalyse liefert den Nachweis für das DNSH-Kriterium „Anpassung an den Klimawandel“ der EU-Taxonomie und speist die klimabezogenen Angaben nach den European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Standard ESRS E1. Die Ergebnisse stehen in den FramesCube Modulen EU-Taxonomie und CSRD zur Verfügung, ohne dass Sie Daten erneut erfassen.
