Climate Risk Assessments

Our climate risk assessment services provide a comprehensive analysis of your physical risks from climate change as well as transitional risks from the shift to a low-carbon economy. We evaluate both event-driven and systemic risks across different climate scenarios to determine potential financial impacts on assets, revenues, expenditures and business continuity. Our physical risk analysis maps vulnerabilities to increasing extreme weather events like floods, heatwaves and storms. Our assessments work directly with the models under the latest Coupled Model Intercomparison Project to draw asset/location specific insights and risk scoring. This can go beyond the portfolio into supply chain risks. We also use AI powered models for incremental and acute transition risks from policy, legal, technology, market, and reputation standpoints. By understanding your climate risk exposure, we can help you build enterprise resilience and pursue risk-adjusted opportunities.

Net Zero & Decarbonization

Our net zero and decarbonization advisory services help organizations align their targets and strategies with climate science. We assist in developing science-based emissions reduction targets for validation by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We also formulate net zero transition plans consistent with the climate Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) guidance and recognized by the UN Race to Zero campaign. Spanning operations, value chains and investment portfolios, our experts model decarbonization pathways leveraging abatement levers like renewable energy procurement, electrification investments, carbon offsets, and nature-based solutions. We identify the most cost-effective interventions to achieve ambitious decarbonization while maximizing co-benefits.

Real Estate Sustainability & Decarbonization Solutions

We offer a range of advisory services across the full spectrum of sustainability for the real estate sector. Terra Instinct’s tailored Net Zero Carbon Framework offers guidance on the most cost-effective and minimally disruptive decarbonization route for existing real estate assets. Our comprehensive analysis presents optimal efficiency measures, budget estimates, and recommended implementation strategies, leading to fully carbon neutral buildings. We offer strategic services for promoting nature positivity and achieving biodiversity net gain. Additionally, we develop transition pathways for green building certification and building optimisation and efficiency studies. Our expertise includes developing climate adaptation strategies, with a focus on modeling climate risks and enhancing asset resilience. Moreover, we specialize in human-centered design to enhance social value within the real estate sector.

Investment Due Diligence

Terra Instinct’s Sustainability due diligence services allow investors to incorporate climate change, human rights and ethical supply chain risks into their decision-making, ensuring their investments align both values and desired returns. We assess greenhouse gas emissions across prospective investment targets to determine climate risk exposure and net zero transition viability. We also evaluate targets’ human rights and environment policies and supply chain management procedures to provide a 360 degree view of ESG performance. By providing meaningful risk metrics and comparability, our due diligence services reinforce risk-adjusted returns and responsible investment outcomes.

Real Estate Due Diligence

Our real estate due diligence services allow investors to assess sustainability risks and opportunities within property acquisitions. We evaluate environmental performance and exposure to climate change impacts across both transition and physical risks. This includes analysis of current energy efficiency, water use and waste generation alongside modeling of flooding, heatwaves and storm vulnerabilities. We further estimate costs, timing and feasibility for enhancing sustainability credentials through upgrades like renewable energy installations, electrification and green building certifications. By determining key risk metrics and comparability around net zero alignment, our experts reinforce climate-resilient investment decision making.
