Bloomberg Expands Climate Analytics for Low-Carbon Transition
Bloomberg has enhanced its climate solutions suite with new analytics designed to help financial institutions evaluate how companies and portfolios might perform as low-carbon technologies grow. These tools empower investors to spot opportunities, assess risks, and align their portfolios with net-zero objectives.
Investment Trends in Low-Carbon Technologies
Data from Bloomberg shows that global investment in low-carbon technologies has dramatically increased from $160 billion in 2009 to $2.1 trillion in 2024. Notably, investment in renewable energy projects hit a record $386 billion in the first half of 2025, marking a 10% year-on-year growth.
Advanced Transition Risk Modeling
While traditional risk models focused mainly on carbon pricing methods such as taxes and emissions fees, Bloomberg’s expanded approach combines carbon analytics with detailed assessments of company exposures to changes in markets, technology, and policy.
Key Features of the New Analytics
- Insights into revenue and capital expenditure linked to clean energy and fossil fuels
- Evaluation of the credibility of corporate transition plans
- Testing of revenue sensitivity under various climate scenarios
Bloomberg stated that their dataset covers companies representing 96% of global market capitalization, supplementing existing metrics like transition revenue-at-risk, carbon forecasts, and transition credibility scores.
These enhancements provide a comprehensive framework for investors to better understand and manage climate-related financial risks and opportunities.
Author’s summary: Bloomberg’s new climate analytics equip investors with detailed tools to assess company performance and risks amid the rapid expansion of low-carbon technologies and global net-zero ambitions.
