The document summarizes the findings of a physical climate risk analysis conducted on a sample portfolio provided by UNEP FI. Key insights include:
- River flooding and coastal flooding pose the highest risks to assets in the portfolio.
- The largest risks are concentrated in real estate assets in Canada, Australia, South Africa, Turkey, and the US.
- Assets in the 'real estate activities' sector face the greatest overall risk in the portfolio.
This document summarizes key challenges facing the shipping industry from an environmental, social, and governance perspective. It outlines that shipping transports over 90% of global trade but produces significant pollution. Regulations aim to reduce pollution discharges and emissions, but few companies report their environmental impacts. The document also notes trends like reduced shipping capacity due to economic slowdown, increased piracy risks, and rising focus on stronger environmental regulations.
Port operation is affected by several key factors including berth allocation problems which deal with assigning space for vessels, tide levels which impact sea levels, weather conditions that involve temperature, wind and precipitation, equipment troubles that delay productivity, and manpower issues relating to worker health, attitude, deployment and management. Addressing these port problems can help lower consumer prices for imported goods and materials.
A bulk carrier, bulk freighter, or bulker is a merchant ship specially designed to transport unpackaged bulk cargo, such as grains, coal, ore, and cement in its cargo holds.
Today's bulkers are specially designed to maximize capacity, safety, efficiency, and durability.
Today, bulkers make up 15% - 17% of the world's merchant fleets and range in size from single-hold mini-bulkers to mammoth ore ships able to carry 400,000 metric tons of deadweight (DWT).
The liquefied natural gas sector has experienced large growth in the last decade and is expected to grow more in the decades to come.
WorleyParsons recently completed a study for the Global CCS Institute to identify the trends in the LNG sector and to make a range of assessments on how these trends may impact on the CCS industry.
At this webinar, Graeme Cox, Principal Consultant from WorleyParsons focused on looking at industry wide and project specific aspects of LNG and relate these to industry wide and project specific aspects of CCS. The cost escalation of LNG projects was explained as well as the impact this may have on the deployment of CCS.
Graeme concluded by identifying opportunities whereby LNG and CCS can be integrated.

The document discusses refrigerated cargo ships (reefer vessels) that transport perishable goods like fruit, vegetables, fish, and meat. It describes the types of reefer ships, their specialized equipment and designs to maintain precise temperatures and atmospheres. Modern technologies like controlled atmosphere systems use inert gases to slow ripening and inhibit pathogens, extending shelf life during transport by weeks. Precise monitoring and control of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels is required to prevent cargo from perishing.
This document discusses various ways to evaluate the performance of a port. It discusses evaluating performance from a single port perspective as well as from a multi-port perspective. From a single port perspective, it is important to evaluate technical efficiency, cost efficiency, and effectiveness. Key performance indicators mentioned include loading/unloading rates, turnaround times, reliability, and prices. A multi-port perspective involves comparing performance across ports using statistical models to evaluate relative technical efficiencies.

This document provides an overview of ports and related concepts. It discusses how ports serve as critical infrastructure for transporting freight and people internationally. Ports connect maritime transport with other modes of transport and enable trading, distribution, and logistics activities. The document then describes different types of ports based on their size, roles, functions, and classifications like network ports, transshipment ports, and feeder ports. It also covers topics like port planning, development, costs, investment, and operations from economic, engineering, and logistics perspectives.
This document discusses different modes of water transportation. It describes ferries, which carry passengers and sometimes vehicles across bodies of water. There are many types of ferries including double-ended ferries, hydrofoils, hovercraft, catamarans, roll-on/roll-off ferries, and pontoon ferries. It also discusses boats, which are smaller watercraft, and ships, which are larger. Ships can be used to transport cargo or passengers. There are also specialized vessels like submarines which can operate independently underwater.
The STCW Basic Safety Training consists of four courses covering personal safety, survival, medical emergencies, and firefighting. The courses are designed to satisfy the safety requirements for any mariner on any size of vessel. The training was established by the International Maritime Organization in 1978 and has since been revised several times to improve safety standards worldwide for professional mariners. The entire Basic Safety Training can typically be completed over four days and is required for anyone sailing outside of certain boundary lines or on vessels over 200 gross tons.

This document from the Bureau of Internal Revenue clarifies the rules for registering manual books of accounts in the Philippines. It states that previously registered manual books do not need to be re-registered each year if pages remain unused. It also specifies that new manual books only need to be registered once the previously registered books are fully used up. Finally, it establishes that the Taxpayer Service Section only approves new registrations and does not examine the completeness of prior books.
Mooring analysis involves designing an offshore mooring system to withstand extreme environmental conditions like 100-year storms. Key factors in the mooring layout include the strength of each mooring line, seabed topography, and directions of wind, waves and currents. Common mooring patterns are distributed to balance loads and provide redundancy. Analysis calculates line tensions and vessel excursions in storms, traditionally analyzing mooring and risers separately but now integrated. The purpose is to ensure the vessel stays within acceptable distance limits under worst loads.
Towards a green and just transition - REVIEW OF THE MARITIME TRANSPORT 2023.Christina Parmionova
UNCTAD’s Review of Maritime Transport 2023 calls for a “just and equitable transition” to a decarbonized shipping industry.
The sector, whose greenhouse gas emissions have risen 20% over the last decade, operates an ageing fleet that runs almost exclusively on fossil fuels.
As global leaders prepare for the next UN climate conference (COP28), UNCTAD advocates for system-wide collaboration, swift regulatory intervention and stronger investments in green technologies and fleets.
Full decarbonization by 2050 will require massive investments and could lead to higher maritime logistics costs, raising concerns for vulnerable shipping-reliant nations like small island developing states.
The report emphasizes the need to balance environmental goals with economic needs but underscores that the cost of inaction far outweighs the required investments.
The report recommends policy actions to overcome supply chain hurdles African countries face, including poor logistics, low levels of technology, fragmented markets, limited capital sources, and weak institutions and regulations.
Beyond cleaner fuels, the industry needs to move faster towards digital solutions like AI and blockchain to improve efficiency as well as sustainability.
In its analysis of global maritime trends, the report highlights shipping’s resilience despite major challenges stemming from global crises, such as the war in Ukraine. Maritime trade is expected to grow 2.4% in 2023 and more than 2% between 2024 and 2028.
This document discusses the design of firefighting systems on board vessels. It begins by introducing common fires that occur at sea and the factors that cause fires. It then outlines the objectives and classification of fires. The document discusses functional requirements, extinguishing methods, fixed firefighting devices, and the central fire control station. It also covers engineering analysis, the location and availability of fire control plans, and the protection of special category spaces.
The world today has about 4000 offshore support vessels of various types. While statistical data are not very precise, there appears to be more than 200 under construction at present. These modern vessels, intended for fleet replacement on the one hand, and to meet the more demanding needs of deeper water operations on the other, are of much improved designs and packed with multifunctional capabilities.
This document discusses floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units. It describes the different types of FPSOs and how they are classified based on their storage capacities. FPSOs are used in a range of water depths from shallow to ultra deep and can operate in sea states from benign to severe. The document provides a brief history of FPSOs and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. It also summarizes key aspects of FPSO design and operation including mooring systems, cargo handling, production and processing systems, and accommodation block placement.
I gave this presentation to the department Technology and Operations Management to explain my thoughts on how sea ports act in global supply chains through organisational, logistics, and information networks.
Climate change is a significant threat across varied sections and in varied regions there has been a consensus about the need for businesses to play key role in ensuring transparency around climate risks and opportunities. To steer climate action, science-based emissions reduction targets validated by Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) and climate change scenario analysis based on the TCFD recommendations have been suggested to be adopted. These aimed to future proof businesses by identifying risks for mitigation and adaptation with the view to deliver value for business, investors, stakeholders and the environment at large. With real estate, contributing to one third of all the global carbon emissions according to UNEP, the responsibility has increased manifolds to address the impact of climate change on real estate portfolio.

On July 16, 2021 ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'Edmonton's approach to stormwater flood management', led by Susan Ancel, Director of One Water Planning for EPCOR Water Services in Edmonton, Alberta. EPCOR has developed a $1.6 billion Stormwater Integrated Resource Plan (SIRP) to mitigate the impacts of flooding in the community. SIRP envisions all stakeholders – citizens, businesses, industry, the City of Edmonton and EPCOR working together to build a flood-resilient future. The goal is to Slow, Move, Secure, Predict and Respond to flooding events to prevent or reduce the impact. EPCOR’s planned flood mitigations projects will take 20 years to complete. The types of projects that are included in SIRP include dry ponds, low impact development, tunnels, combined sewer separation, outfall control gates, inflow/infiltration reduction, building flood proofing, increased sensors and automatic controls and emergency response equipment. The plan was developed through consultation with Climate Change Adaptation, Insurance and Financial sector groups across North America.
Susan Ancel is the Director of One Water Planning for EPCOR Water Services in Edmonton, Alberta. In her prior role, she was Director of Stormwater Strategies, where she was responsible for developing an Integrated Resource Plan for flood mitigation that considered capital and operational risk mitigation planning, as well as the interrelationships between utilities, insurance, disaster response agencies and the public. Prior to her Stormwater Strategies role she was the Director of Water Distribution and Transmission for EPCOR. Susan is a Mechanical engineer with over 30 years’ experience with the municipal utility sector. She has also served on numerous industry committees including the Board of Directors for the Geospatial Information Technology Association (GITA) from 2001 to 2007 and was President of GITA in 2006. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Canadian Water Network.
This document summarizes a methodology for conducting vulnerability assessments to evaluate risks from coastal hazards. It involves analyzing hazards, critical facilities, societal factors, economic impacts, environmental issues, and mitigation opportunities. GIS is used to map risk areas and intersecting factors. Metrics are established to prioritize hazards and vulnerabilities. The process identifies high-risk locations and populations to guide development of hazard mitigation strategies.
This document summarizes the initial steps taken toward developing a comparative index of seaport resilience. Data on potential resilience indicators was collected for 23 North Atlantic ports and analyzed using principal component analysis and correlation matrices. While a numerical resilience score was produced, the results were deemed inaccurate due to low quality, inconsistent data. The analysis concluded that further data exploration was needed to refine the methodology and indicators before producing an accurate resilience ranking. The next steps will focus on creating an algorithm to weight indicators and aggregate scores to evaluate ports' ability to prepare for, resist, recover from, and adapt to disturbances.
Risk financing and risk transfer mechanisms can help address the increasing costs of climate-related disasters. However, there are significant challenges to their implementation in developing countries, including a lack of suitable mechanisms, high costs, and insufficient evidence and demand. Effective integration of adaptation, risk management, and risk financing approaches is needed but has not always been achieved in practice.

The natural environment underpins economic activity and makes up 36% of wealth in developing countries. Careful management of natural capital can support economic resilience and greener economies. Financial institutions sign the Natural Capital Declaration to manage indirect exposure to natural capital risks through portfolio companies. The Advancing Environmental Risk Management project aims to develop customized natural capital risk assessment approaches and integrate these risks into lending and investment decisions. This will help quantify natural capital risks and support sustainable development commitments.
A Study for Development of Regional Risk Assessment for Technological DisasterGlobal Risk Forum GRFDavos
1) The document presents a study to develop a quantitative risk assessment method for technological disasters in urban areas.
2) It outlines a regional risk assessment model that classifies risks, models frequency and severity, and calculates a risk index to present risk.
3) As an example, it applies the model to assess risks from facilities like an LPG station in a district of Seoul, Korea, presenting the risks on a map.
This document summarizes the Climate Change Data Portal, an online tool from the World Bank that provides global and country-level climate change data to help project teams plan, monitor, and evaluate responses to climate risks. The portal allows users to access climate projections, historical weather data, vulnerability analyses, and additional resources to understand current and future climate variability and impacts in key sectors like agriculture and water. It is designed to improve project implementation and monitoring by assessing vulnerability to climate hazards using credible data from local, national, and international sources.
This report summarizes the findings of the Phase 1 E-RISC project, which aimed to demonstrate how environmental and natural resource risks could impact sovereign credit risk. The report analyzed 5 countries and found that:
1) A 10% change in commodity prices could impact national trade balances by 0.2-0.5% of GDP, showing resource risks are relevant in the short-term.
2) A 10% reduction in biological resource productivity could impact trade balances by 1-4% of GDP, indicating medium-term risks from ecosystem degradation.
3) Countries have distinct resource risk profiles, with dependencies and exposures varying significantly. However, risks are not currently reflected in credit ratings.
A new angle on soverign credit risk: Environmental Risk Integration in Sovere...Dr Lendy Spires
This report introduces the E-RISC project which aims to integrate environmental factors, specifically natural resource risks, into sovereign credit risk analysis. It does this by developing metrics to quantify how constraints on natural resources like biological resources (fish, forests) and non-renewable resources (fossil fuels, metals) could financially impact countries. The report presents initial results for 5 countries, finding that a 10% change in commodity prices or degradation of biological resources could significantly impact some countries' GDP. It encourages further development and adoption of these kinds of environmental risk metrics in sovereign credit ratings and investment decisions.
This document discusses principles and practices of country risk. It covers three main topics:
1) Global and country risk, including examples of global risks like climate change and how risks are interconnected.
2) Country risk management, including perspectives on country risk, different risk responses, and frameworks for assessing and coping with risk.
3) Country risk financing, including the importance of risk financing to disaster risk reduction and examples of green investments that can generate commercial returns while reducing risk.
This document provides an overview of a report on insurance and risk landscape in the Southern Cape of South Africa produced by a research partnership. It discusses how climate change is increasing risks of extreme weather events and long-term changes. Insurance plays an important role in adapting to these risks by transferring financial risks. However, those most vulnerable to climate impacts often lack access to affordable insurance. The report examines case studies on risks in the region and provides recommendations on how insurers can work with governments and communities to develop solutions to build climate resilience.
IRJET - A Case Study on Flood Risk ManagementIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a case study on flood risk management. It discusses three levels of flood risk management actions - operational, project planning, and design levels. At the operational level, accurate flood forecasting and 24/7 emergency response are important. The project planning level involves flood control projects like dams, diversion canals, and river defenses. The design level includes structures like check dams, retaining walls, and building regulations to mitigate flood risk. Flood risk management aims to reduce loss of life and property damage from floods.
(Mis)calculated Risk and Climate Change: Are Rating Agencies Repeating Credit...Sustainable Brands
The document discusses the financial risks posed by climate change and how credit rating agencies may be failing to properly account for these risks in their methodologies. It notes that current climate change trajectories could lead to over 4°C of warming by 2100 with disastrous impacts. However, 193 countries have committed to limiting warming to below 2°C, indicating climate change trajectories are dynamic. Shifting from a 4°C path to a 2°C path risks stranding fossil fuel assets and creating a "carbon bubble." The financial risks of physical climate impacts and constrained carbon demand are not adequately addressed in rating agency methodologies, exposing them to potential liability just as during the credit crisis when their ratings failed to capture housing market risks.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

ECB Good Practice
page

Our approach follows the ECB good practice for climate-related
and environmental risk management:
An institution identifies physical risk drivers by sector based on the
work of an international climate research agency. It assigns a
sensitivity score from very low to very high to each sector taking
into consideration the vulnerability of the specific economic
activities (e.g. power generation) to a physical vulnerability (e.g.
drought). It does so by geography, creating a sector-geography
matrix of impact scores. It subsequently maps its exposures to the
associated matrix and adds up its exposures by sensitivity score to
produce a first heat map of geographies and physical risk drivers.
The heat map is used to determine areas for deeper analysis.
5. Executive Summary

What is in a portfolio scan?
• High-level analysis of physical climate risks in a loan book or
portfolio of assets
• Uses sector-geography pairs as set out in best practice
guidance (ECB)
What are the key insights?
• Assets/loans at risk: identify percentage of assets/loans
with high risks and evaluate risks on a loan-level
• Key risk drivers: identify key physical hazards (e.g., flooding,
water stress, wildfire) and transition risk drivers (carbon
pricing, pressure to cut emissions) driving risks
• Key sectors: identify key sectors (NACE level 1 and 2) at risk
• Key locations: identify provinces where sectors at risk are
located
How can these insights be used?
• Results should be used to indicate areas for
due diligence (sector, province, and
hazard concentrations)
• Results should
inform materiality thresholds and risk limits
• Results should inform conversations with
key clients at risk: do they have processes in place
to mitigate risks and can further financing be provided
to reduce risks?

Granular physical risk data is matched with data on locations, sectors, and financial exposure from client.
Each sector (NACE level 1 and 2) has a sensitivity to each hazard on a scale of 1-5 – for example, sensitivity of Agriculture to Water
Stress.
Hazard at location is multiplied by sensitivity of the economic activity to the hazard to give a risk score. For example, if Water Stress at
the location is a 4 (‘High’) and sensitivity of Agriculture to Water Stress is 5 (‘Extremely High’), Risk Score is 20 (‘Extremely High’).
Results are presented at a portfolio, sector, province, and loan level. CRS also provides all the data behind the analysis on a loan-level.

• Analysis uses 10 hazards (soon 12!)
• Hazard models from leading scientific institutions
(World Resources Institute, Copernicus, UK
Hadley Met Office etc.)
• Analysis is done on the short (2011-2040),
medium (2041-2070), and long-term (2071-2100)
• Analysis uses high emissions scenario (IPCC
RCP 8.5)
• CRS models provided at 50 km x 50 km
resolution; can be used for creating province and
country scores. 1 km x 1 km resolution flooding
hazards will be available in January 2024.

9. Physical Risk – Sample Portfolio Data
page

Source: CRS Methodology
The CRS climate risk tool is built with minimal data
collection requirements in mind.
We require data on:
• Asset Name – e.g. loan id
• Location – this can be lat-long (if available) or
address. If neither is known, we can work with
Province level, or country level
• Sector code – we work with NACE 1 and
NACE 2 codes. Other sector classification
methods (like NAICS or ISIC) can be mapped
to NACE
• Exposure amount – this is usually the net
amount that is at risk
Sample data collection template
10. Physical Risk – Executive summary
page

Source: CRS Methodology
Once the data is uploaded to our platform, we
generate different insights.
We start with an Executive Summary. This
shows:
% of total loan portfolio at risk
Four periods up to 2100
Aggregate across all hazards: if one out of
10 hazard scores is “very high”, then
the loan or asset scores very high
This is in line with best practice
11. Physical Risk – Critical Hazards
page
011
Source: CRS Methodology
We provide an overview of the main hazards:
what % of assets/loans is most at risk from
which hazards?
We also provide an overview of the main
locations at risk: which locations contribute the
most risk in the portfolio?
Also included is an overview of the main
sectors at risk. Users can set minimum
thresholds: for example, show all sectors with
> 5% high risk or extremely high risk.
And finally, an overview of the different
combinations of hazard, sectors, and locations
to identify key risk concentrations and set
materiality thresholds.

Physical climate risk: top-down Portfolio Scan
Geolocation (lat-long/address)
High
• The highest data score is when banks have data of asset
locations of their clients. Some banks are now requesting this
data during DD or the annual review
Province (GADM)
Medium
• A good proxy is understanding whether the company is mostly
active in a certain province. A common pitfall is that the location
of head office does not always match its assets locations
Country
Low
• If no data on asset locations or province exists, then using a
country as a proxy can still be informative

Climate Risk – Summary
The tables show the key hazards and the countries
and sectors at risk in the portfolio.
Each asset is assigned a risk category according to
the highest risk score from the 10 hazards analysed.
All percentages are of total value of the portfolio.
River flooding and coastal flooding are they key
hazards of concern for the portfolio. Risks are
concentrated in Canada, Australia, South Africa,
Turkey, and the United States.
Assets in the ‘real estate activities’ sector are at
greatest risk.

Portfolio Findings – Risk Concentrations
The table shows the key ‘extremely high’ risk concentrations in the portfolio. Notably, real estate assets in Canada
are exposed to coastal flooding, constituting 16.67% of total portfolio value.

Coastal Flood
Location: 5
implies that the probability of a 0.5m flood (or more) happening any year is above 20%
Sector: 4
An acute coastal flood has the potential to cause significant disruption to all aspects of the manufacturing process, from the destruction of
machinery and product stock to disruption of supply chains and endangerment of employees.
River Flood
Location: 5
Implies that the probability of a 0.5m flood (or more) happening any year is above 20%
Sector: 4
An acute river flood has the potential to cause significant disruption to all aspects of the manufacturing process, from the destruction of
machinery and product stock to disruption of supply chains and endangerment of employees.
Heat Stress
Location: 4
Implies that the 95th percentile Universal Thermal Comfort Index (UTCI) temperature of the most extreme month of the year is a heat event
between 38-46 °C
Sector: 4
Heat stress leads to higher demand of cooling and the risk of food spoilage is increased during storage and transportation and the
processing stages so that the viability of operations is in question during heat stress periods.
