Frequently Asked Questions

What climate scenarios does the API support?

The API supports two IPCC SSP scenarios: SSP2-4.5 (moderate emissions) and SSP5-8.5 (high emissions). You can request projections under either or both scenarios.

How are composite risk scores calculated?

Composite scores weight individual hazard ratings by local relevance. A coastal location weights flood and cyclone higher, while an inland location weights drought and wildfire higher. Scores range from 0-10.

What time horizons are available?

The API provides risk projections for baseline (current), 2030, 2040, 2050, and 2060. Request specific time horizons or receive all projections in the response.

Is the data aligned with TCFD requirements?

Yes. The Climate Risk API is designed for TCFD compliance, providing scenario analysis, physical risk categorization, and forward-looking projections required for TCFD disclosures.

What geographic resolution does the API use?

Hazard data is derived from multiple sources at varying resolutions, ranging from 1km to 25km depending on the hazard type. The API synthesizes these into a single assessment per coordinate.

Can I batch process multiple locations?

Yes. The /api/v1/climate-risk/batch/ endpoint accepts multiple coordinates in a single request. Contact us for enterprise batch limits and throughput requirements.
