With adaptation scenario modeling and corporate entity modeling (CEM) at the center, complemented by expanded metric capabilities and our pioneering global coverage, Jupiter is redefining what it means to act on climate risk. This is what climate intelligence looks like when it’s built for investment action.

Institutional investors already have access to climate risk data. But until now, they haven’t had the tools to act on it with the speed, clarity, and confidence that modern portfolios demand.

That changes today.

We’re proud to announce the launch of four powerful new capabilities within Jupiter’s ClimateScoreTM Global platform. At the core of this launch are two major advancements:

  • Jupiter Adaptation Hub – a first-of-its-kind workflow to model physical adaptation strategies, quantify avoided loss, and calculate ROI across multiple climate-based perils.

  • Jupiter Entity Modeling – an expanded capability that delivers climate risk insights on a wide variety of entities including securities, funds, corporates, and investment vehicles, providing competitive visibility and strategic advantage.

Together, they represent a step-change in how banks and financial institutions understand, mitigate, and understand their exposure to climate risk. 

And they are joined by two additional platform enhancements: Jupiter MetricEngine and a new subsidence metric and damage model that deepen analytical precision and peril coverage for customers who need to go further.

This launch marks a turning point for institutional climate intelligence, representing:

  • A shift from analysis to action
  • A move from exposure to strategy
  • A step beyond ESG into investment-grade decision support

With these new capabilities, firms can rely on Jupiter’s global coverage to:

  • Conduct entity-level and asset-level climate screening
  • Simulate resilience strategies and quantify ROI
  • Defend climate-adjusted investment and credit decisions
  • Reduce dependency on external consultants and stitched-together tools

This is what climate intelligence looks like when it’s built for investment action. 

Whether you're managing LP relationships, defending insurance negotiations, or rebalancing a portfolio, Jupiter now gives you what you need to act decisively.

Here’s a bit more detail on each of the four new capabilities. If you’d like to see them in action, contact us here.

Jupiter Adaptation Hub – From Vulnerability to ROI

The Jupiter Adaptation Hub is a new capability within ClimateScore Global that enables investment and risk professionals to evaluate adaptation strategies, quantify avoided losses, and calculate ROI; all with the same scientific rigor trusted by the world’s most demanding institutions. This is the first time decision-grade adaptation planning has been made available at the speed and scale of real-world investment workflows.

Adaptation has historically been hard to model and even harder to justify. This means most organizations evaluate only their vulnerability to physical climate risk, then stop short of understanding how they can take adaptive action on that vulnerability, how much an adaptation investment might cost, when they will break even on that investment and when it will begin to yield returns. 

Jupiter Adaptation solves that. 

Now, investment and risk professionals can:

  • Select from a library of 10+ physical strategies across flood, wind, wildfire, and heat (e.g., floodwalls, storm shutters, cool roofs)
  • See the cost of various adaptation strategies
  • Customize each strategy by year, design level, and region-specific cost assumptions
  • Compare unadapted vs. adapted loss over 1-, 5-, 10-, or 30-year timeframes
  • Visualize avoided loss and calculate strategy ROI across individual sites or full portfolios
Jupiter Adaptation Hub – a first-of-its-kind workflow to model physical adaptation strategies, quantify avoided loss, and calculate ROI across multiple climate-based perils.

Whether you’re allocating capex, supporting LP disclosures, defending a hold/sell decision, or writing a climate risk memo to the board, Jupiter Adaptation connects actions to outcomes. No third-party consultant required. No black-box assumptions. Just board-ready outputs, backed by science validated by leading global financial institutions.

Jupiter Entity Modeling – Physical Climate Risk Insights -- For All Your Investments

The window for first-mover advantage in climate-aware investing is closing fast. As the financial consequences of physical climate risk become more priced in, firms that act now will be the ones setting the benchmarks, not reacting to them. 

But most tools weren’t built for capital markets. They focus on delivering only site-level insights, not the capital-level securities, companies, and portfolios that carry financial exposure. Meanwhile, complex structures, incomplete disclosures, and generic ESG ratings leave institutions struggling to quantify what risk really means to their capital.

Jupiter Entity Modeling is built for this turning point. It helps firms understand how climate hazards affect value across an entire portfolio of diverse instruments. The goal isn’t just to assess climate exposure; it’s to translate it into better pricing, smarter diligence, and forward-looking capital strategy. As regulators, LPs, and markets sharpen their scrutiny, early adopters won’t just be compliant, they’ll be competitively positioned.

Jupiter connects corporate structures, financial instruments, and climate science enabling a unified view of risk. With Jupiter Entity Modeling, users can quantify how physical hazards affect the value, performance, and continuity of the capital they manage.

This is especially powerful for:

  • Private equity and infrastructure firms screening acquisition targets
  • Lenders evaluating credit exposure across corporate clients
  • Asset managers prioritizing companies in their value chain
  • Risk teams evaluating portfolio concentrations in climate-exposed sectors
Jupiter Entity Modeling — Delivers climate risk insights on a wide variety of entities including securities, funds, corporates, and investment vehicles, providing competitive visibility and strategic advantage.

Jupiter Entity Modeling uses financial, operational, and geospatial signals to enrich entity profiles with climate-adjusted risk scoring.  Entity Modeling can get you started even when that level of detail isn’t available.

Used together, Jupiter Adaptation Hub and Jupiter Entity Modeling create a two-sided risk-and-response engine: showing where the exposure lives, and how it can be mitigated with measurable return.

Jupiter MetricEngine – Precision Metrics to Support Portfolio Action

Financial institutions are expected to quantify climate risk with the same precision they apply to credit and capital. But most tools still rely on static return periods or broad hazard scores, making it difficult to assess right-tail exposure or justify stress test inputs.

Jupiter MetricEngine fills that gap. It enables quant teams and risk officers to dynamically model return periods, exceedance probabilities, and average annual loss (AAL) across configurable thresholds and business-relevant parameters. Outputs are scenario-specific, transparent, and designed to integrate with existing stress testing and capital planning workflows.  MetricEngine supports the simulation of real-world financial exposure under extreme climate events, supporting credit decisions, stakeholder reporting, and long-term resilience planning.

Some users need more than standard metrics. They need metrics that match their business decisions. Jupiter MetricEngine allows you to:

  • Define intermediate thresholds like “number of days above 35°C”, and compute exceedances over time
  • Model tail-risk losses for extreme heat, wind, or precipitation
  • Generate dynamic return periods and on-demand AALs

Designed to plug into stress tests, engineering models, and right-tail capital risk planning, MetricEngine turns our science into your metrics.

Jupiter MetricEngine – Dynamic, scenario-specific model outputs, including custom return periods, exceedance probabilities, daily threshold counts, and loss distributions. Simulate synthetic weather years for crop modeling or assess regional drought and precipitation shifts. 

Subsidence Peril Metric and Damage Model – Expanding Coverage Where It Counts

Structural damage from shrink-swell subsidence is becoming more common; particularly in drought-prone regions with clay-rich soils like the UK, France and Australia. Unlike uniform subsidence from groundwater withdrawal, which tends to lower ground levels gradually, shrink-swell subsidence causes acute, uneven soil movement beneath structures. This can quickly lead to foundation cracking, shifting, and costly claims. 

Deploy the same high-resolution, adaptable, and multi-scenario capabilities as all other models within the ClimateScore Global portfolio.

Our new Subsidence peril model quantifies:

  • The annual probability of shrink-swell subsidence
  • Expected damage based on foundation type, construction material, and basement presence

Now, subsidence risk is no longer a blind spot. Jupiter models it with the same transparency and global coverage you expect from every ClimateScore Global capability.

Subsidence Peril Metric – Models structural risks from soil-moisture fluctuations in clay-rich soils, including a comprehensive damage model that estimates average annual damage based on foundation type and construction materials.
