With extreme weather events on the rise there is increasing concern over how the U.S. municipal bond and mortgage-backed security markets, which may be particularly vulnerable to physical events, will manage these challenges. Investors in these markets need climate and ESG data to provide an added layer of transparency into the risks and opportunities in these markets.

Emissions and Targets Data can help companies and financial institutions understand the climate risk landscape, meet regulatory requirements and discover climate-related opportunities.

The Climate Transition Analytics Tool, which is part of the ICE Sustainable Finance Platform, integrates climate data and science-aligned analytics at a company, sector and portfolio level.
