Bloomberg Expands Climate Analytics for Low-Carbon Transition
Bloomberg has enhanced its climate solutions with advanced analytics designed to help financial institutions evaluate how companies and portfolios might perform as low-carbon technologies grow.
Tools for Investors
The new tools enable investors to identify prospects, assess risks, and align their portfolios with net-zero objectives, according to Bloomberg.
Surging Investment in Low-Carbon Technologies
- Global investment in low-carbon technologies increased from $160 billion in 2009 to $2.1 trillion in 2024.
- Investment in renewable energy projects hit a record $386 billion in the first half of 2025, rising 10% compared to the previous year.
Innovative Transition Risk Framework
Traditional transition risk models have mainly focused on carbon pricing, such as taxes or emissions fees. Bloomberg’s expanded approach combines carbon analytics with detailed assessments of company exposure to market, technological, and policy shifts.
Bloomberg states, "The analytics provide insight into revenue and capital expenditure linked to clean energy and fossil fuels, evaluate the credibility of corporate transition plans, and test revenue sensitivity under different climate scenarios."
Comprehensive Data Coverage
The dataset includes companies representing 96% of global market capitalization, enhancing Bloomberg’s existing tools like transition revenue-at-risk, carbon forecasts, and transition credibility scores.
Author’s summary: Bloomberg’s expanded climate analytics offer deeper insights for investors to navigate the low-carbon transition by integrating carbon data with comprehensive company assessments under various climate scenarios.
