risQ
risQ is the leader in modeling and translating climate risk to the bottom line for municipal debt participants. risQ enables transparency in municipal climate risk. This empowers investors to better manage portfolios and allows cities to identify cost-benefit effective climate adaptation opportunities. Intensification of heatwaves puts public health and the energy sector at risk, threatening the tax bases of cities. Coastal and inland floods continue to increase in terms depth and frequency, threatening billions in land value and real estate. Hurricanes are intensifying and bringing unprecedented rainfall, threatening major metros in new ways. Expansion of cities and increasing drought is multiplying the risk of wildfire to property and infrastructure at risk.
