𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐱, 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐬 This summer the conversation became concrete: across Europe we saw nuclear reactors running at reduced output, gas plants derating, wind below average,energy crops wiped out, solar damaged by hail and wildfires, logistics at a standstill. Different technologies, different countries. None of it outside what climate models have described for years. So what is changing? Climate risk has stopped being part of a scenario and has become a cost line in quarterly results. And the issue is shifting from acute to chronic: once extreme events stop being exceptional, they become the baseline. Not a one-off loss, but higher Opex, Capex pulled forward, less predictable revenues. The hard question isn't whether climate risk is real. It's: what does it mean for a specific site, a specific asset, a specific investment decision? and what is worth doing about it, at what cost, on what timeline? Adaptation is capital allocation, not just disclosure. Underinvesting is a risk. Overinvesting, or investing too early, is a risk too. And that's where the opportunity sits. Companies that know their exposure before an event can plan it, price it, finance it and explain it to investors. Those that don't will describe it afterwards, in a results statement. At AFRY Management Consulting we quantify it with Jupiter Intelligence as our data layer (hazard scores across multiple scenarios, tailored indicators, damage estimates using insurance damage functions), and we add the analysis the data alone can't give: with our Engineers we identify which assets are vulnerable, what it means for EBITDA, which adaptation measures pay back and how fast.

I've noticed that while climate risk is increasingly on the agenda, many companies still struggle to understand what it means in practice for their assets, operations and future investments. At the same time, climate change is not only about risks. It is also creating opportunities for those who can anticipate changing customer needs, strengthen resilience, secure access to critical resources and adapt early. The conversation is changing fast. Financiers, investors and customers increasingly expect companies to understand and manage climate-related physical and transition risks across their operations, assets and value chains. We are moving beyond simply identifying risks towards understanding the business implications, and to what actions to take. Knowing where vulnerabilities exist is important. Knowing what to do about them is what creates value. If this topic is relevant for your business, happy to exchange thoughts. Daniel Weiss Fritz Winterhoff Liina Marttila Simone Saviantoni Johan F.
