How technology is redefining climate risk analysis

July 30, 2025 / Maria Luisa Pertuz

Regulatory pressure and investor expectations are making managing climate risks impossible to ignore. According to a study by Stanford University, 78% of institutional investors consider climate change to be an important factor in the valuation of portfolios. In this context, technology is positioned as a fundamental ally to anticipate impacts, comply with regulations, and make strategic decisions based on data.

The complexity of climate data management in companies

While many organizations have begun to incorporate climate analysis into their risk management processes, operational reality remains a challenge. One of the main obstacles is the lack of standardized, reliable, and accessible data, which makes it difficult to develop comparable and useful analyses for decision-making.

While tools exist to facilitate these analyses, the intense speed of technological innovation does not always keep pace with local regulatory requirements, which creates a barrier between regulatory compliance and technical capability. More than 35 jurisdictions have adopted, or plan to adopt, IFRS standards, which require companies to disclose climate-related risks, including transition risks. In this context, many companies are forced to comply with increasing pressure to report, without yet having the right tools or milestones to do so effectively.

Technology as a catalyst for climate risk analysis

More and more companies are understanding that having technological tools to analyze climate risks is not only an advantage, but a strategic necessity. The most advanced solutions allow you to simulate complex scenarios, cross-reference financial data with climate information, and understand in much more detail how your investments may be affected. Not only does this capability help you better manage risk, but it also opens the door to new opportunities: from reorganizing asset portfolios to identifying emerging industries and responding with greater agility to ever-evolving regulations.

WayCarbon has developed software Ecosystem, that allows companies to identify and quantify financial losses associated with physical and transition risks. This tool not only visualizes threats such as floods, heat waves, or wildfires, but also facilitates the definition of short, medium, and long-term management and adaptation plans. Its systemic approach and its ability to customize by sector, region, and asset type make it a strategic solution for integrating sustainability into financial management. In addition, it can be linked directly to corporate reports, which improves internal efficiency and allows you to dynamically update information as climate or regulatory scenarios change. Solutions like this exemplify how technology can represent a competitive advantage based on the efficiency of processes.

The way organizations face the risks of climate transition is changing rapidly, and technology is playing a key role in this transformation. At WayCarbon, we support institutions to be able to incorporate these tools in a practical way and be better prepared to adapt to climate change, turning it into a real advantage in a market that increasingly values resilience, transparency, and a real commitment to sustainability.
