Bloomberg expands climate analytics for low-carbon transition

Bloomberg Expands Climate Analytics for Low-Carbon Transition

Bloomberg has enhanced its climate solutions suite by adding analytics designed to help financial institutions evaluate how companies and portfolios might perform as low-carbon technologies expand.

New Analytical Tools for Investors

The new tools enable investors to:

Identify investment opportunities
Assess associated risks
Align their portfolios with net-zero objectives

These capabilities were outlined by Bloomberg as part of its broader climate data offering.

Surge in Low-Carbon Investments

Bloomberg data shows a dramatic rise in global investments in low-carbon technologies, increasing from $160 billion in 2009 to $2.1 trillion in 2024.

Investment in renewable energy projects reached a record $386 billion in the first half of 2025, marking a 10% increase year-on-year.

Innovative Approach to Transition Risk Modeling

Where traditional transition risk models focused on carbon pricing strategies such as taxes or emissions fees, Bloomberg’s expanded framework offers a more holistic view.

Combines carbon analytics with bottom-up assessments of exposure to market, technology, and policy changes
Provides insights into revenue and capital expenditure related to clean energy and fossil fuels
Evaluates the validity of corporate transition plans
Tests revenue sensitivity against different climate scenarios

Comprehensive Company Coverage

The dataset encompasses companies representing 96% of global market capitalization, augmenting Bloomberg’s existing metrics including transition revenue-at-risk, carbon forecasts, and transition credibility scores.

Bloomberg explained that the enhanced analytics "help financial institutions assess how companies and portfolios may perform as low-carbon technologies continue to scale."

Author’s summary: Bloomberg has significantly upgraded its climate analytics to better guide financial institutions in managing risks and opportunities amid the rapid growth of low-carbon technologies.
