Bloomberg Expands Climate Analytics for Low-Carbon Transition
Bloomberg has enhanced its climate solutions with new analytics designed to help financial institutions evaluate how companies and portfolios might perform as low-carbon technologies expand. These tools assist investors in spotting opportunities, assessing risks, and aligning investments with net-zero objectives.
Investment Growth in Low-Carbon Technologies
According to Bloomberg data, global investment in low-carbon technologies surged from $160 billion in 2009 to $2.1 trillion in 2024. Renewable energy project investment reached a record $386 billion in the first half of 2025, marking a 10% increase year-on-year.
Advanced Risk and Exposure Assessment
Traditional transition risk models have mainly focused on carbon pricing tools, such as taxes and emissions fees. Bloomberg’s expanded framework goes further by integrating carbon analytics with detailed assessments of company exposure to changes in markets, technology, and policy.
- Insights into revenue and capital expenditure related to clean energy and fossil fuels
- Evaluation of corporate transition plans for credibility
- Testing revenue sensitivity under various climate scenarios
The data covers companies accounting for 96% of global market capitalization and complements Bloomberg’s existing tools like transition revenue-at-risk, carbon forecasts, and transition credibility scores.
"The tools enable investors to identify opportunities, evaluate risks and align portfolios with their net-zero goals."
Author's summary: Bloomberg’s upgraded climate analytics offer comprehensive insights for investors to manage risks and seize opportunities amid the accelerating low-carbon transition.
