## **Summary**

Unlike existing products focused purely on climate physical risk, AlphaGeo's Global Climate Risk and Resilience Index is a unique two-in-one scoring suite of (1) Physical Risk and (2) Resilience-adjusted Risk. Together, these deliver risk *and* resilience assessments at scale. Furthermore, AlphaGeo is much more than a "defensive" climate risk data provider. We are also a predictive location analytics platform with an "offensive" toolkit that includes [Climate Financial Impact Metrics](https://docs.alphageo.ai/analytics-product-guides/financial-impact-analytics), Location Signals, and other bespoke metrics useful for investment strategy and portfolio construction. &#x20;

## How we differentiate

### **(1) Resilience-Adjusted Risk Methodology: a two-in-one scoring suite comprising physical risk and resilience that captures the "ground truth"**

Unlike traditional approaches to physical risk, AlphaGeo's Global Climate Risk Index uses a unique [**Resilience-Adjusted Risk Methodology**](https://docs.alphageo.ai/analytics-product-guides/climate-risk-and-resilience-index/methodology-1-3-resilience-adjusted-risk-framework) that accounts for local adaptation measures (or the lackthereof) that offset climate hazards, thus providing a “ground-truth” view on the likely real-world impact of climate change. Our approach helps users go *beyond* assessing risk to guide remediation measures, make strategic decisions, and promote overall resilience.

### **(2) Global adaptation layer: a unique dataset of local adaptation measures that underpins our resilience-adjusted scores**

Underpinning our Resilience-adjusted Risk Scores is the [Global Adaptation Layer](https://docs.alphageo.ai/analytics-product-guides/climate-risk-and-resilience-index/methodology-2-3-global-adaptation-layer), a unique dataset of globally consistent, hyperlocal geospatial data layers on the adaptation capacity of any coordinate on earth, enabling "ground truth” analysis of climate resilience down to the neighborhood or asset level.&#x20;
