Climate and Nature Resilience Assessment for a Single Property: A Worked Example
This is a worked example of a physical climate risk assessment extended with a nature layer, run end to end on a single real property. It shows what the platform returns at each step: 12 hazard ratings across three scenarios, land-cover change, protected-area proximity, and the financial layer of expected annual damage. Here the flood model places no water on the pad, so the financial read is that flood is an area hazard, not an at-asset one. For the step-by-step method, see the assessment methodology; for the general report format, how to interpret a climate risk assessment report.

Site and location context
This is the climate and nature layer of a Continuuiti assessment.
Run the same 12-hazard, multi-scenario screen, with land-cover change and protected-area context, on your own sites.
Elevation and terrain across a 2 km plot
Satellite view, about 2 km across, pin on the warehouse.

Land use change: an urbanizing desert-industrial site (2020 to 2025)
Sentinel-2 true-color (what the eye sees)
Dynamic World land cover (the classifier)
Sensitive zones: protected-area proximity and forest status
Climate hazard matrix: 12 hazards, 4 horizons, three scenarios
Materiality-adjusted risk: weight hazards by operational dependency
Flood depth: no flood modeled at the warehouse pad
Damage and Value-at-Risk: not modeled at the asset
