CPI Definition & Scope
Climate Finance and Risk Data in CPI's GLCF framework tracks investment in data platforms and analytical tools that inform climate-related financial decision-making. CPI captures investment in climate risk assessment platforms, physical and transition risk modeling, climate finance tracking and transparency tools, green bond verification systems, and climate-aligned portfolio analytics. This subsector supports the financial system's ability to price climate risk and channel capital toward climate solutions, which is the core mission of CPI's own work.
Subsectors & Examples
Climate Risk Modeling — physical risk assessment, transition risk analysis, scenario modeling
Climate Finance Tracking — platforms for tracking public and private climate finance flows
Green Bond Verification — second-party opinions, use-of-proceeds verification, impact reporting
TCFD/ISSB Compliance Tools — disclosure platforms, Scope 1/2/3 calculation tools
Climate-Aligned Portfolio Analytics — Paris alignment tools, stranded asset analysis
Mitigation & Adaptation Classification
Climate finance and risk data is classified primarily as adaptation in CPI's framework. The primary function is enabling financial institutions and governments to understand and respond to physical climate risks, making it fundamentally about adaptation and resilience of the financial system. However, by directing capital toward mitigation investments, these tools have indirect but significant mitigation impact.
LATAM Relevance
Climate risk data is increasingly important for Latin American financial markets. Colombia's financial regulator (Superfinanciera) has mandated climate risk disclosure for financial institutions. Peru's green bond market is growing and requires robust verification infrastructure. Costa Rica issued Latin America's first sovereign ESG bond structure. Central banks across the region are joining the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and need climate risk analytical tools. CPI itself maintains Latin America-specific climate finance data through its data dashboard.
