Bloomberg Expands Climate Analytics for Low-Carbon Transition
Bloomberg has broadened its suite of climate solutions with advanced analytics, enabling financial institutions to assess company and portfolio performance as low-carbon technologies scale globally.
The new tools help investors identify growth opportunities, evaluate transition risks, and align financial strategies with net-zero objectives. Using Bloomberg’s data and modeling capabilities, users can analyze exposure to shifts in market trends, technology adoption, and policy changes.
According to Bloomberg’s data, global investment in low-carbon technologies has surged from $160 billion in 2009 to $2.1 trillion in 2024, with renewable energy project investment reaching a record $386 billion in the first half of 2025, up 10% year-on-year.
Integrated Transition Risk Framework
While traditional models typically focus on carbon pricing mechanisms like taxes or emissions fees, Bloomberg’s enhanced framework combines carbon analytics with detailed, company-level assessments. This approach provides greater clarity on how businesses are affected by evolving environmental and regulatory landscapes.
- Insight into revenue and capital expenditure linked to clean and fossil energy sources.
- Evaluation of corporate transition plan credibility.
- Testing of revenue sensitivity under multiple climate scenarios.
The data set covers firms representing 96% of global market capitalization, complementing Bloomberg’s existing transition revenue-at-risk metrics, carbon forecasts, and transition credibility scores.
