Climate Hazard Data

(note: add description under each dataset. add AWS link to the data; organized data in table format; coverage of space and time )

These are the data describing the drivers of physical risk. These data include climate information or information about current and projected hazard events. They may be used as explanatory variables to influence economic outcomes and alter existing economic relationships, or to identify at-risk locations with other geographical data (e.g. topographical data including coastal elevation models, satellite data), or cost and performance data for energy substitutes that can be used in estimating energy price relationships.[1]

Hot and Cold Wet and Dry Hurricanes and Storms Ice and Snow Coastal and Oceanic Biodiversity

Exposure Data

These are data describing exposures to the climate hazard. Key features used to construct the exposures include geospatial data for corporates (including  their  value  chains), location data  for mortgage collateral,  or data on counterparties’  sensitivity  to  energy  prices  or  carbon  emissions  in  the   production  and  distribution  processes. 

These are the data describing the financial exposure.

Vulnerability Data

These are the data describing the vulnerability of exposures.

Financial Data

  • Historical disaster cost and frequency of the US by state and disaster type by NCEI of NOAA[2]
  • EM-DAT data, the international database of worldwide disaster, hazards, and their damage from 1900 to present. The database is compiled from various sources, including UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, reinsurance companies, research institutes, and press agencies.
  • CAT-DAT data
  • Global Drought Proportional Economic Loss Risk Deciles
  • FEMS's Hazus loss library
  • Economic losses from weather- and climate- related extremes in Europe: https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/indicators/economic-losses-from-climate-related
  • Climate related economic losses in Europe: View
  • Economic losses and fatalities based on CATDATA: View
  • NatCatSERVICE is a global natural catastrophe loss database provided by re-insurance company Munich Re. It is one of the world's most comprehensive databases on natural hazard-based disasters with more than 28 000 entries. It is based on over 200 sources worldwide, including news agencies, insurance companies, international agencies (UN, EU, Red Cross, etc.), scientific sources and weather and warning services. (Note to XL: it doesn't seem to be open-source, but it is listed by EEA).
