Brief description of the data offering
CIARA - Climate Impact Analytics for Real Assets – is a methodology for infrastructure investors. Through a set of indicators related to climate issues (impact on the climate, alignment with the Paris Agreement, vulnerabilities to climate risks), we enable investors to understand the real assets they hold (post-investment) or that they wish to hold (pre-investment).
Providing our clients with such indicators is essential, especially for this asset class that is so structuring for our economies and in our clients' portfolios.
In this context, CIARA is useful in several ways. In the pre-investment phase, it helps make informed investment decisions. In the post-investment phase, it helps identify levers to improve it and report in line with regulations and investor expectations.

Where and how do you source your data?
Carbon footprint assessment depends on two main factors: physical activity data that come directly from our clients and emission factors that come from public databases.
To assess the temperature of the infrastructure, we need to model its performance using physical data from our clients. We then compare the modelled performance with a reference carbon budget derived from the International Energy Agency scenarios.
For physical risk assessment, we need very little information on the infrastructure (notably its location) to understand its exposition and vulnerability to physical risks. The climate hazards come from climate models, such as CORDEX.
What is the cost for your data offering?
The pricing policy depends on the number of lines and on the number of indicators chosen. Feel free to contact ciara@carbone4.com if you need extra information about our prices.
