Riise Climate and Nature Risk Platform

Risilience is a climate and risk analytics company based in Cambridge, UK, with an office in New York. It was spun out from the Centre for Risk Studies at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School. It helps corporate finance, sustainability and risk teams and financial institutions quantify the financial impact of climate and nature-related risks and turn them into strategy.

The Riise platform assesses physical and transition risks through a single lens. Its core is a digital twin of each company that maps financial metrics and cash flow forecasts, market and product segments, operational sites, logistics networks and strategic suppliers, and Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Modules cover risk screening, financial quantification, transition and mitigation planning, and RiiseIQ business unit analysis. Digital twin options range from a library version built on public data to versions augmented with company data, backed by advisory services.

• Company digital twin: Maps financials, markets, sites, logistics, suppliers and emissions in one model.
• Risk screening: Identifies physical and transition risk hotspots across operations and value chains.
• Financial quantification: Translates climate and nature risks into impacts on cash flow and value.
• Transition and mitigation planning: Compares decarbonisation options by ROI.
• RiiseIQ: Business unit level analysis for targeted strategy and reporting.
• Thematic analyses: Water stress assessment and El Nino impact analysis for supply chains.

• A Vietnamese food and beverage group quantifies the combined effect of drought, flooding and carbon pricing on its supply chain and margins.
• An apparel exporter prioritises decarbonisation projects by ROI to meet brand customers' targets.
• A listed company prepares the physical and transition risk sections of its ISSB S2 report.

• Assesses physical and transition risks together, so companies see hazard exposure and low-carbon transition impacts on the same financials.
• Expresses climate and nature risks in financial terms that boards and finance teams can act on.
• Identifies decarbonisation initiatives with the best return on investment.
• Supports audit-ready disclosures across multiple jurisdictions and standards.

ISSB S2 requires companies to disclose both physical and transition climate risks and their financial effects, and many Asian markets are phasing it in. Vietnamese exporters in food, apparel and consumer goods face carbon border measures and buyer decarbonisation targets alongside rising flood and heat exposure, which increases demand for tools that model both risk types against company financials.
