Clima-Metrics

Proprietary forecast of climate-driven GDP loss across hazards and sectors

Overview

AlphaGeo’s Clima-Metrics models how climate hazards reduce economic output across sectors and geographies. It translates physical hazard intensity into subnational GDP loss, with both unadapted and resilience-adjusted outputs.

This product helps users move from high-level climate flags to quantified, top-down economic impact.

Our approach: From physical hazard to economic impact

Most climate macro models stay too high level. They hide local variation, flatten sector differences, and miss how multiple hazards interact. Clima-Metrics addresses that gap by estimating GDP loss at subnational resolution, across hazards and sectors, with adaptation built into the view.

This creates two complementary views of climate impact:

  1. Unadapted GDP loss — baseline economic exposure to climate hazards

  2. Resilience-adjusted GDP loss — expected loss after accounting for existing adaptation capacity

This helps users compare gross exposure, defended exposure, and the economic value of resilience.

Product features

  • Geographic coverage: Global

  • Spatial unit: GID_1 subnational units, with country-level aggregates

  • Hazards: Heat, flash flood, riverine flood, coastal flood, wind, drought, and combined multi-hazard

  • Sectors: Agriculture, manufacturing, services

  • Forecast horizons: Multiple time horizons

Core outputs

The forecast includes both subnational and country-level outputs:

  • GDP loss percent — combined and per-hazard GDP loss

  • Sectoral breakdown — agriculture, manufacturing, and services contribution to loss

  • Resilience dividend — loss avoided through existing adaptation capacity

  • National aggregates — GRP-weighted country-level summaries

  • Adaptation gap ranking — adaptation efficiency relative to exposure

  • Global snapshot — highest-risk countries and regions by hazard

Outputs are available in both unadapted and resilience-adjusted form.

Use cases

  • Macro-level sector and geographic analysis

  • Sectoral and geographic asset allocation strategy

  • Climate finance allocation and adaptation prioritization
