EY Climate Analytics Platform (EY CAP)

Core Features

EY CAP is built around a forward-looking climate risk methodology that combines physical hazard modelling with transition risk analysis. Drawing on recognized scientific scenarios from it helps users translate climate indicators into business-relevant risk and financial metrics. Its principal capabilities include:

• Integrated Physical and Transition Risk Assessment – Evaluates both climate hazards and transition-related exposures within a unified analytical framework.

• Scenario-Based Climate Modelling – Uses IPCC climate scenarios and NGFS transition pathways to assess potential future outcomes.

• Financial Impact Analysis – Converts hazard and emissions-related indicators into metrics that help organizations understand potential financial consequences.

• Supply Chain Risk Evaluation – Extends analysis beyond direct operations to include upstream suppliers and supply-chain vulnerabilities.

• Global, Granular Coverage – Provides climate-risk assessments across worldwide geographies using high-resolution spatial datasets.

• Long-Term Climate Outlooks – Supports forward-looking assessments from historical baselines through horizons extending to 2100.

Closing Insights

The EY Climate Analytics Platform emerged from EY's climate change and sustainability practice, where growing client demand for climate-risk quantification created a need for tools capable of connecting climate science with business decision-making. EY CAP focuses on helping organizations understand how climate change may affect operations, assets, supply chains, logistics networks, and revenue streams.

A key aspect of the platform is its combination of physical and transition risk analysis. Users can evaluate risks to facilities and suppliers, assess potential disruptions to transportation infrastructure, examine impacts on agricultural yields, and analyze exposure to carbon-pricing mechanisms. The platform provides downloadable outputs covering multiple assets, scenarios, and time horizons, enabling users to incorporate climate-risk information into strategic planning and regulatory disclosures. It also supports assessments aligned with frameworks and requirements such as TCFD recommendations, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Taxonomy, and other market expectations.

Looking ahead, increasing scrutiny of climate-risk governance and disclosure is likely to sustain demand for tools that can quantify climate-related impacts across global operations and supply chains. Organizations considering EY CAP may also benefit from access to EY's wider climate, sustainability, risk, and regulatory advisory services.
