A Spatial Finance approach to meeting climate and sustainability
Spatial Finance refers to the integration of geospatial data with financial analysis and decision-making. It combines location-based economic information such as assets and the value of assets with Earth data derived from satellite imagery, sensors, and other scientific sources.
Spatial Finance enhances the understanding, assessment, and management of financial risks and opportunities for sustainability associated with physical assets. It can help evaluate the potential risks and returns of investing based on locations and environmental factors. It can also aid in assessing the vulnerability of assets to natural disasters or climate change and support the development of financial products that address climate-related risks. By relying on observations and repeatable scientific methods, it offers a new level of accuracy, transparency, scalability and trust in climate and sustainability data in the context of financial decision-making.
As the climate and biodiversity crises increase regulatory pressures, the financial impacts of extreme events, and the demand for sustainable finance, SpatiaFi has been built to usher in new levels of action on climate and sustainability. SpatiaFi leverages Google Cloud's leading geospatial technologies and the world's best available science to support organizations on their journey's to help build a more sustainable, climate resilient future.
