AIR Is Helping Organizations Respond to the 2021 Climate Biennial Exploratory Scenarios
AIR's Climate Change Practice is working to help firms satisfy the Bank of England’s 2021 climate biennial exploratory scenarios (CBES) by exploring the financial risks posed by climate change. AIR has relevant experience providing solutions for the General Insurance Stress Test 2019. This exercise tests the resilience of banks’ and insurers' current business models to climate-related hazards to help inform decisions about adjustments that may be needed in the coming decades. For this exercise, AIR prioritized three critical regions and perils (Great Britain inland flood, Japan typhoon, and U.S. hurricane). Our team of experts is prepared to undertake similar studies on a consulting basis for other regions and perils.
A document outlining the methodology, results, and data for this study will be available in July to clients who license AIR models.

Our team of climate change scientists collaborate with your company to create customized solutions that help you assess the risk of climate change to different lines of business from property and casualty to life, agriculture, and supply chain.
AIR experts in our Global Resilience Practice and climate change scientists in our Climate Change Practice have helped governments and organizations protect, adapt, and mitigate the risk of sea level rise due to climate change. AIR assisted the City of Miami Beach with their stormwater management plan and developed an algorithm to expand existing storm footprints to account for future elevated sea levels.
Thought Leadership
Since our founding, AIR has been focused on providing science-based solutions. We strongly believe that outreach and education can help organizations and governments make data-driven decisions and policies that can help us build climate-resilient communities across the globe. Our scientists and industry experts have built long-term relationships with the state and federal governments, departments of insurance, rating agencies, and regulators around the world.
We have worked with insurance associations to publish reports that quantify the financial/insured risks of climate change and can create climate-conditioned catalogs that enable stress-testing of losses under future climate conditions.
