Earthscan is a science-based and AI-driven climate intelligence platform, that enables users to discover, quantify and share climate risk on assets. The user builds a portfolio of assets on the platform and receives on-demand insights from a dashboard (at both asset and portfolio level). Users can explore climate risks, by selecting specific climate scenarios (e.g. business as usual, 2040 emissions peak and Paris Agreement-aligned) and risk categories (i.e. specific hazards), for different time horizons (from 1970s to 2100). Users can visualise overall risks for the portfolio, risk distribution within and across the portfolio, changes in mean risk over the portfolio. Earthscan rates combined physical risk from very low to very high. Users can also generate and share standardised risk reports based on the tool.
