Exploring Risk on Black Friday: Targeting Insights with AI As shoppers flood stores and websites this Black Friday, we are reflecting on the less visible challenges retail giants like Target face: climate risk. What are the potential impacts of climate change on Target's stores, supply chains, and operations? Curious to learn more, we turned to our LLM-powered tool, askRiskthinking, for answers. The insights were eye-opening—ranging from flood risks to supply chain disruptions. It’s fascinating to see how AI can surface actionable insights, helping businesses not only understand but proactively mitigate risks. As we navigate the holiday season, it’s a reminder that the retail landscape is evolving—and resilience and foresight are key to sustaining success in an ever-changing world. What are your thoughts on climate risk in retail? Are there tools or strategies you’ve seen making an impact? https://lnkd.in/gQ3KZgqv #AI #BlackFriday #ClimateRisk #RiskManagement

Last month, CLA member Dr. Ron Dembo, Founder and CEO of riskthinking.AI, joined Paul Ellis on the Sustainable Finance Podcast to discuss "future data," a probabilistic approach that addresses the uncertainties of climate change more effectively than traditional models. Interested in learning if the Canadian business landscape will ever achieve "a mark-to-market pricing system that inherently includes climate risk", or the challenges in "using climate data effectively"? 📖 Read the full transcript exclusively on Canadian Finance News: https://lnkd.in/g3pVnPWk #sustainable #finance #risk #carbonzero #data #climate

A Principle Governing Climate Risk Measurement In the quantum world, uncertainty is a fundamental principle. Physicists and cosmologists agree that the behavior of matter at its most basic level is inherently stochastic. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle illustrates this: pinpoint an electron’s location, and its momentum becomes random; specify its momentum, and its position becomes uncertain. While this may feel counterintuitive to our everyday experiences, it is an accepted truth of quantum physics—even Einstein, initially skeptical, ultimately acknowledged this reality. At Riskthinking.AI, we believe a similar uncertainty principle applies to modeling the future, especially in the context of climate risk. Just as quantum mechanics has reshaped our understanding of the physical universe, a stochastic approach is essential for accurately measuring and managing future climate risks. Our latest article explores this principle and its implications for climate risk management, offering insights into how organizations can navigate uncertainty to make informed, resilient decisions.

A PRINCIPLE GOVERNING CLIMATE RISK MEASUREMENT We live in a quantum world. Physicists and Cosmologists trying to understand our world, and the very basis of matter today, agree that it behaves in a weird stochastic manner. If you were sitting in the nucleus of an atom, and were pinpointing an electron’s location, trying to measure its momentum, you would find that its momentum would be completely random. And, if you specified its momentum, its position would be highly uncertain. This is known as Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle[1] and is a fact that is so alien to our world view. It is not the world we see around us and is not intuitive. But it is a fact. Even Einstein, when quantum theory emerged, was known to dismiss it saying: “God does not role dice” He later accepted that the world we live in is governed by the laws of quantum physics and the Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. This article describes a similar uncertainty principle that governs any mathematical modelling of the future. And it should govern the way we think about measuring future climate risk. https://lnkd.in/giMUgrBY [1] Neil Turok, The Universe Within, House of Anansi Press 2012

In the latest installment of Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler's 2024 Climate Summit Series, Dr. Ron Dembo of Riskthinking.AI discusses his company's comprehensive climate analytics and data platform and how it uses a stochastic view to predict risks brought on by climate change, and how that's changed given recent climate shifts. #climatesummit #climateriskmanagement
Honored to have spoken at Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler's 2024 Climate Summit Series. I had the opportunity to discuss how Riskthinking.AI’s comprehensive climate analytics and data platform leverages a stochastic approach to predict climate risks. As our climate continues to shift in unprecedented ways, these methods are more critical than ever for accurate risk assessment and strategic planning. Grateful to be part of the conversation on advancing climate risk management. https://lnkd.in/gZkgf9xr #ClimateSummit #RiskthinkingAI #ClimateRiskManagement

🌍 How Do Election Scenarios Impact the S&P 500's Most At-Risk Companies? Ever wonder how differing policies could reshape the future of corporate climate risk? Here's a look at the Top 10 Most At-Risk S&P 500 Companies in 2050 under two vastly different scenarios: a Trump-led future vs. a Harris-led one. 🔎 Key Takeaways: - EOG Resources Inc: VaR jumps to 69% under Trump vs. 57% under Harris. - Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd: Consistent high risk (62%) across both scenarios. - Overall, Harris' scenario shows lower risk exposure for most companies, signaling a significant shift in climate policy impact. 📊 These numbers are a wake-up call for corporate strategy and investment planning. Risk management in a climate-uncertain future is more crucial than ever. 💡 Are your assets ready for 2050? Let’s discuss how these scenarios could impact your portfolio. #ClimateRisk #CorporateRisk #2050Outlook #Sustainability #InvestmentStrategy

As part of our ongoing look at the U.S. election and how climate financial risks play out when transition risks and physical climate risks collide, Dr. Ron Dembo is taking a close look at Oklahoma where a Harris win looks likely to be a surprise win on the climate risk front for the state. Next week we will dig into more of the data with Bobby Shackelton and take a look at the methodology we are using. And if you live in the U.S., remember your vote counts! #climaterisk #vote #election2024
At first glance, Oklahoma may not seem like a critical state to analyze when considering elections and climate risk. However, Riskthinking.AI's forward-looking climate risk modelling tells a different story. In fact, a Harris win scenario offers a notably more favourable climate risk outlook for Oklahoma compared to a Trump win, primarily due to the emissions reductions linked to climate-focused policies. Our data shows that under a Trump victory, Oklahoma's potential climate-related losses—in all risk categories—would rise compared to a Harris win. For instance, wildfire risk, as indicated by the Fire Weather Index, is projected to be 26% higher under Trump's policy direction. This is particularly concerning for Oklahoma, a state increasingly vulnerable to extreme heat, drought, and other climate-related hazards. While emissions policies are often evaluated from an economic perspective, they significantly affect physical climate risks. In Oklahoma, our models reveal that proactive emissions policies play a crucial role in reducing the state's exposure to climate hazards, illustrating the tangible benefits of policies that limit carbon emissions. This state-specific analysis highlights the substantial influence that federal policy can have on regional climate risks. Oklahoma serves as a clear example of the stark contrast between the outcomes of a Trump and a Harris administration. #climaterisk #elections
