Climate Mapping for Resilience and Adaptation
Climate Mapping for Resilience and Adaptation (CMRA) is a portal that helps users assess local exposure to climate-related hazards using federal data, enabling analysis of past, present and projected climate conditions to support risk assessments and resilience planning.
Inevitable Policy Response
Inevitable Policy Response (IPR) on ipr.transitionmonitor.com is a climate policy data and forecast platform that tracks global policy developments, scenarios and variables to help investors assess climate transition risk and alignment of portfolios with likely policy outcomes. It is supported by PRI and research partners.
Inevitable Policy Response (IPR) Transition Monitor is an online climate policy data platform tracking expected government climate actions by country and sector. It helps investors assess transition risk, forecast policy impacts and align portfolios with likely policy pathways to net-zero, based on expert forecasts and quarterly updates.

AR5 Scenario Database
The IPCC AR5 Scenario Database, hosted by IIASA, provides access to long-term emissions and mitigation scenarios assessed in Working Group III’s Fifth Assessment Report. It enables users to explore modelled pathways on climate change, energy systems and greenhouse gas emissions, supporting analysis of transition risks and policy-relevant climate outcomes.
Climate Impact Lab
Climate Impact Lab uses historical climate and socioeconomic data with evidence-based, data-driven analysis to quantify climate change impacts and economic costs at local and sector levels, informing policymakers, investors and business decisions, including an empirically-derived estimate of the social cost of carbon.
Climate Impact Lab
ImpactLab is a research organisation quantifying real-world climate change impacts using evidence-based, data-driven climate science and socioeconomic analysis. It provides hyperlocal climate risk data, estimates social cost of carbon, and informs policymakers, investors and businesses to support climate risk assessment, adaptation planning and sustainable decision-making.
Carbon Tracker Initiative
Carbon Tracker’s Reports page hosts research analysing how supply, demand and climate policy affect fossil-fuel exposed companies and markets. It provides scenario analysis, methodological frameworks and sector-specific insights for investors and policymakers on climate-related financial risk and the energy transition.
AQUEDUCT Floods
Aqueduct Floods is an interactive tool by WRI that maps current and projected riverine and coastal flood risk globally. It enables users to assess exposure, urban damage, and economic impacts under different climate scenarios, supporting risk analysis, resilience planning, and investment decision-making at country and sub-national levels.
The Three Horizons of Decarbonisation
This article presents the Three Horizons of Decarbonisation framework, helping companies distinguish between short-term efficiency measures, operational transformation, and fundamental business model shifts. It explains how clear horizon identification improves capital allocation, stakeholder engagement, and the likelihood that net zero plans translate into meaningful action.
One Earth: The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory
This commentary assesses risks of a self-reinforcing “hothouse Earth” trajectory driven by accelerating warming, feedback loops and tipping points. It reviews evidence on climate sensitivity, overshoot scenarios and cascading tipping elements, warning that current emissions pathways heighten irreversible risks and require urgent mitigation and precautionary governance.
Hong Kong taxonomy for sustainable finance (phase 2A)
Phase 2A of the Hong Kong Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance sets out detailed criteria for classifying environmentally sustainable activities, aligned with international taxonomies. It covers additional sectors, technical screening thresholds, and transition activities, aiming to enhance transparency, comparability and capital allocation towards climate mitigation and adaptation in Hong Kong.
The macroeconomic impact of climate change: Global vs. local temperature
This paper estimates that global temperature increases have far larger macroeconomic damages than local measures suggest. Using time-series evidence and a neoclassical growth model, it finds a 1°C rise reduces world GDP by over 20% long term, implying substantial welfare losses and a high social cost of carbon.
Developing survey methods for collecting individual policy narratives: A case study of climate change narratives using an engaged convenience sample
This study tests open-ended survey methods for eliciting individual climate policy narratives using the Narrative Policy Framework. In a small, liberal US sample (n=88), problem-focused questions generated more complete narratives. Narrative elements varied by ideology, education and media use, supporting the ‘homo narrans’ assumption.
Advancing adaptation: Mapping costs from cooling to coastal defenses
This McKinsey Global Institute report assesses current and projected costs of adapting to heat, drought, flooding and wildfires under a 2°C warming scenario. It estimates $190 billion is spent annually today, rising to $1.2 trillion by 2050 for developed-economy protection standards, with benefits outweighing costs.
Future energy scenarios: Pathways to Net Zero
Future Energy Scenarios 2025 provides independent pathways for Great Britain’s energy system to reach net zero by 2050. It models demand, supply, flexibility and emissions across electricity, gas and hydrogen, assessing costs, infrastructure needs, carbon budgets and policy choices under varying levels of electrification, hydrogen deployment and consumer engagement.
Coal 2025: Analysis and forecast to 2030
This report analyses global coal supply, demand, trade and prices to 2030. It assesses regional consumption trends across power and industry, production outlooks for major exporters, policy and decarbonisation impacts, and market risks. Forecasts highlight shifting Asian demand, plateauing global use, and implications for investment and energy security.
Global trends in climate change litigation series
This series reviews global developments in climate change litigation, tracking case numbers, jurisdictions, claimant and defendant trends, and evolving legal strategies. Drawing on international litigation databases, it analyses patterns in claims against governments and corporations, highlighting emerging themes in climate governance, accountability and legal risk.
