UW Climate Risk Lab

“Making the best climate risk data, analysis and tools available to all.”

About

The UW Climate Risk Lab (CRL) is a multidisciplinary research and innovation center based at the University of Washington Foster School of Business in the Department of Finance & Business Economics. Established in 2022, it advances data and technology solutions to issues in climate-related financial risk for corporate and government decision-makers. [ https://foster.uw.edu/faculty-research/directory/phillip-bruner/ Phillip Bruner], co-founder of the CRL, currently serves as its Executive Director.

The CRL brings together academics and professionals in climate finance, risk management, business analytics, data engineering, computer science, atmospheric sciences, supply chains management, information systems and AI. It collaborates with several initiatives within the University of Washington (UW), which include the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, Clean Energy Institute, Creative Destruction Lab, eSciences Institute and Urban Infrastructure Lab. Its external partners include: the Duke Energy Data Analytics Lab, the Pacific Northwest Mission Accelerator Center, Riskthinking.ai and Washington Maritime Blue.

History

The CRL originated in 2022 with a grant from the Office of UW President Ana Marie Cauce made to the Foster School of Business, Department of Finance & Business Economics. The idea for a CRL was originally conceived by Ron Dembo, Founder of Riskthinking.ai and later brought forward by a co-founding team lead by Phillip Bruner, UW Professor of Sustainable Finance, Charlie Donovan, Senior Economic Advisor at Impax Asset Management, Sam Shugart, New Product & Services Market Analyst at Puget Sound Energy and Simon Park, Harvard graduate and Fellow of the UW Evans School of Public Policy.

What are Climate risks?

Climate risks are the negative impacts of climate change events on industry, governments, and individuals. These risks are estimated to incur trillions of dollars in damages in the next century as the climate continues to worsen.

Climate Risk Categories

Physical risks - Climate risks that pose a variety of financial consequences, including property damage and human illness. These climate risks include acute events, like extreme temperatures and climate disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, and chronic events, like rising global temperatures, sea-level rise, and the extinction of animal, insect, and plant species. Data representing the physical risks of climate change include global temperature data, sea-level measurements, ocean temperatures during extreme temperature events, and damages to property in the wake of a natural disaster.

Transitional risks - The risks to society associated with changing policy and laws to address and mitigate climate change. These include increased costs to develop goods and provide services, reduced company output, and loss of assets. Data representing these risks include articles outlining changes in government policy and projected loss of revenue due to the implementation of such policy measures.

Liability risk- Also known as legal liability or legal risk, these risks refer to the potential for an individual, organization, or entity to be held legally responsible or accountable for actions, decisions, or events that may result in harm, loss, injury, or damage to others. In the context of liability risk, "liability" typically refers to the legal obligation to compensate or make amends for such harm or loss. Liability risks can arise in various situations, and they are an important consideration for individuals, businesses, and institutions.
