The core of repath’s climate indexes and data relies on regional climate models (RCMs). These models show how the Earth’s climate is projected to change, based on evaluation of the past centuries. The RCMs were created to downscale climate fields produced by global climate models (GCMs), thereby allowing for a higher-resolution representation of the climate system’s response to different factors, such as greenhouse gases.
Trust in repath’s solution. At repath, our climate data and analytical approach are rooted in the latest advancements in climate science, ensuring robustness, reliability, and cutting-edge insights. With high-resolution regional climate models and IPCC approved climate change scenarios, our climate risk indices offer the most accurate and actionable data available. This state-of-the-art methodology allows us to deliver precise vulnerability and risk analyses, covering both impacts and hazards. While our climate risk scoring provides an overview of climatological trends worldwide, understanding what these changes mean for specific locations and asset types, is crucial for achieving true resilience. Let’s have a look at how we do it! repath uses the latest multi-model ensemble, based on the latest Regional Climate Models (RCMs) simulations developed under the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment Framework (CORDEX). This allows us to provide you with individual physical climate risk analyses at the asset and geolocation level. CORDEX is a program initiated by the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) to provide high-resolution climate projections for climate impact and adaptation assessment, which supports the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and various environmental conventions.
Our data comes from over 400 regional climate simulations from prestigious climate research centers worldwide. This approach assures us robustness in our results and a better understanding of the uncertainty coming from the simulations, contributing to the local climate information generated. The Regional Climate Models (RCMs) form the basis of the risk assessment and enable our customers to identify, understand and manage their risk all over the globe. Our grid resolution is the highest available in the market, with 12 km x 12 km in Europe and a 25 km x 25 km everywhere else. repath provides 10 Risk Scores classifying the climate risk on a scale from low to excessive to help you assess the intensity of the risk your assets face in the most precise manner. Climate change scenarios describe plausible trajectories of climate conditions and other aspects of the future. These climate change scenarios are based on emissions scenarios, so-called “representative concentration pathways (RCPs).” The RCPs are not forecasts or predictions of emissions. Instead, they reflect expert judgments regarding plausible future emissions based on research into different factors. With repath’s solution, you gain the ability to comprehend physical climate risk across the three main scenarios, which are in line with IPCC and its Assessment Reports on Climate Change. All combined in an automated, scalable, intelligent user-friendly solution. Comprehensive Climate Hazard Impact Assessment with repath At repath, our scientific approach goes beyond mere climate risk scoring to offer a detailed understanding of how changing climate conditions impact specific locations and asset types. Our climate hazard impact assessment is designed to provide actionable insights that are essential for achieving resilience. Our impact layer addresses the crucial question of what changes in climatological indicators mean for individual assets and locations. By offering both portfolio and location-specific views, we translate climate trends into tangible, event-driven impacts on energy infrastructure. The Four Components of Our Climate Impact Assessment The impact layer is based on four connected principles, each representing a different aspect of the climate impact assessment. As climate change accelerates, the frequency and intensity of certain extreme weather patterns are expected to increase. Hazards, Exposure & Vulnerability These extreme events, referred to as climate hazards, can cause damage or disruption to built infrastructure. Exposure refers to the assets at risk at a specific location. Vulnerability describes the susceptibility of each asset type to the hazards, taking into account the intensity of the hazard and how the asset is exposed to it. How We Drive Impact The combination of these three attributes can result in a series of impacts that affect the asset type. The impact provides an indication of the potential effects that a climate hazard can have on an asset type. Identify your climate risks today.
