Aon has updated its climate risk monitor (CRM) with heat stress analytics and cooling demand components to help clients “understand, quantify and act on evolving physical climate risk”.
The heat stress analytics captures how temperature humidity and exposure can impact businesses and communities. This covers health as well as possible economic and productivity impacts.
Cooling demand has been added to show the importance as a response to heat stress as well as potential contributor to emissions.
There are also updated views of drought and water stress, more actionable hazard intelligence, modern baselines and improved model handling, global hazard mapping and more efficient user experience.
Liz Henderson, head of climate risk advisory for Aon, said: “Heat stress, rising cooling demand and increased water usage are quickly becoming everyday challenges for businesses and communities – affecting people, energy systems and IT infrastructure – especially as more data centers are built with the increased use of AI. By quantifying these impacts, organizations can better protect uptime, manage costs and build resilience for a hotter, more demanding future."
