Using the new climate advisory offering, clients will be able to produce two scores, one for properties at risk and the other for risk to forestry in the region.

Guy Carpenter stated that its solution also offers the ability to modify risk scores using the various climate change scenarios.

Wildfire Risk Score can be used to generate scores ranging from ‘very low’ to ‘extreme’ for properties in the client’s European portfolio.

It can be used to assess portfolio exposure levels and potential wildfire accumulation risks as well as to make informed underwriting decisions.
