Bloomberg Expands Climate Analytics for Low-Carbon Transition
Bloomberg has enhanced its climate solutions by introducing new analytics designed to assist financial institutions in evaluating how companies and portfolios may perform as low-carbon technologies grow.
These tools help investors identify opportunities, assess risks, and align their investments with net-zero objectives, according to the provider.
Surge in Low-Carbon Investment
Bloomberg's data reveals a dramatic increase in global investment in low-carbon technologies, rising 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, marking a 10% increase year-on-year.
Innovative Risk Assessment Approach
Traditional models of transition risk mainly focused on carbon pricing like taxes or emissions fees. Bloomberg’s updated framework goes further by combining carbon analytics with detailed evaluations of how companies face changes in markets, technology, and policies.
- Provides insight into revenue and capital expenditure connected to clean energy and fossil fuels
- Assesses the credibility of corporate transition plans
- Tests revenue sensitivity under different climate scenarios
The data encompasses companies representing 96% of global market capitalization and complements existing Bloomberg tools such as transition revenue-at-risk, carbon forecasts, and transition credibility scores.
Bloomberg stated: "The tools enable investors to identify opportunities, evaluate risks and align portfolios with their net-zero goals."
Author's summary: Bloomberg’s enhanced climate analytics empower investors with comprehensive tools to assess and align portfolios for a sustainable, low-carbon future amid rising global investments.
