Non-academic data use


ISIMIP simulation data are widely used for non-academic applications in various fields:


Financial Risks of Climate Change

Network of Greening the Financial System (NGFS)

SSM (Single Supervisory Mechanism) banks in the EU (i.e. all banks under ECB supervision)

European companies under the scope of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

Deloitte

S&P Global

Bertram et al. 2021; Richters et al. 2022; NGFS Data and Resources; Climate Impact Explorer

ISIMIP has become the standard reference for the stress testing for physical climate risks that is demanded by the European Central Bank (ECB) and European Banking Authority (EBA) for all European Banks.

ISIMIP has become a key source of information for investment firms to fulfill the ESG risk disclosure requirements which are in place since December 2022 (DIRECTIVE (EU) 2022/2464 (2, 3))

Deloitte's D.Climate model examining economic climate impacts relies on ISIMIP data

Personal communication from Terence Thompson, Chief Climate Scientist, concerning applications of ISIMIP data to physical-risk estimation in the areas of hydrology, wildfire, marine biomass, etc.


Humanitarian Risks

BMZ /GIZ /KfW

World Bank

U.S. Department of Agriculture

Climate Risk Profiles for Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Philippines, Southern Africa, Malawi
