ResilienceArc is an open-access platform, currently in its prototype phase, designed to assess corporate exposure and resilience to physical climate risks. By connecting asset-level climate data directly with corporate decision-making, the platform provides a clear picture of how hazards like floods, extreme heat, and drought affect physical facilities. This standardised foundation helps businesses, investors, and governments identify where adaptation and resilience-building investments are most critically needed.

Organisation behind the tool

The platform is developed by Climate Arc in partnership with the Earth Capital Nexus at the London School of Economics (LSE) and the Cross Dependency Initiative (XDI).

What the tool does

ResilienceArc combines asset-level risk data with disclosure-based insights. Key features include:

• ResilienceArc Data: Provides company-level resilience assessments and asset maps to explore how physical risks are concentrated within value chains, alongside captured adaptation disclosures.
• The ResilienceArc Framework: Features an assessment framework containing over 160 indicators organised across five core metrics: Targets, Assets, Implementation, Processes, and Governance.
• ResilienceArc Benchmarks: Offers sector-level comparisons to identify leaders and laggards across industries.

Target audience

The primary target audience includes businesses, financial institutions, investors, and policymakers or governments seeking to manage physical climate risks and incorporate adaptation strategies into their transition planning.

Relevance to finance professionals

Finance professionals can apply ResilienceArc in several key areas:

• Risk assessment: Assessing corporate exposure to physical climate hazards (such as floods, extreme heat, and drought) and understanding how they translate into operational and financial impacts.
• ESG analysis: Evaluating adaptation actions and corporate disclosures against a standardised framework of over 160 indicators.
• Investment context: Benchmarking sector-level performance to identify resilient companies and align long-term investment portfolios with climate adaptation goals.
