ENCORE tool

The online ENCORE tool (Exploring Natural Capital Opportunities, Risks and Exposure) enables users to visualise how the economy impacts and depends on nature and how environmental change creates risks for businesses and thus financial institutions. Starting from a business sector, ecosystem service, or natural capital asset, ENCORE can be easily used to start exploring natural capital risks. These risks can be explored further to understand location-specific risks with maps of natural capital assets and drivers of environmental change.

Drought Stress Testing Tool

The Drought Stress Testing Tool enables banks to assess if a client may be at risk from drought and how drought can affect a sector or region. A clearer understanding of the risk associated with droughts can help build more resilient financial institutions, and by shifting finance to less vulnerable sectors and regions, economies can become more stable and resource efficient. In turn, this helps the planet, as more resource efficient production in less vulnerable areas can produce healthier ecosystems better equipped to absorb shocks such as droughts.
