Climate Finance Alpha

CLIMAFIN

Climate Finance Alpha's CLIMAFIN delivers forward-looking, climate-adjusted credit-risk and valuation metrics that integrate physical, transition and nature-related factors into probabilities of default, ratings and asset values. Founded by climate-finance academics, its core method is publicly documented in an open technical report (Battiston et al. 2022, IIASA) covering the NACE-CPRS-IAM mapping behind its NGFS-based transition analysis, and the team has supported bodies such as the NGFS on scenario design. Distinctive for its peer-reviewed stress-testing lineage applied to banks, insurers and asset managers — a research-based boutique rather than a mass-market data vendor.

It is explicitly not a measure of vendor quality or accuracy.
