Assets vulnerable to physical climate risk
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Assets vulnerable to physical climate risk are presented as a structured disclosure of exposed asset carrying amounts and shares of total assets across acute or chronic hazards, scenarios and the reporting entity's stated time horizons, before adaptation actions.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries
Method disclosures required
Source-edition basis: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 consolidated as of 1 January 2025 and AASB S2 September 2024; later editions require separate method profiles.
- ISO 4217 currency code and scale for each carrying-amount cell
- Percentage numerator as exposed asset carrying amount and denominator as compatible total assets for the same date and perimeter
- Declared short-, medium- and long-term horizon definitions
- Scenario set, acute or chronic hazard class, hazard and significant location
- Gross exposure before adaptation actions, kept separate from the percentage addressed by adaptation actions
- Financial-statement basis, line item or note and reconciliation reference
- Risk-identification process, materiality threshold and valuation basis
- Unavailable values and reasons, plus controls preventing overlap across assets, hazards, scenarios and horizons
Record-specific limitations
- Results are sensitive to the declared scenario, horizon, location data, risk-identification method and materiality threshold.
- The disclosed amount is not expected loss, probability, impairment, insured loss or a post-adaptation residual.
- The same asset can appear under multiple hazards, scenarios or horizons and must not be added across incompatible or overlapping rows.
- Unavailable quantification must be labelled unavailable with a reason and must never be represented as zero.
- An edition change requires reassessment under a separately identified method profile.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
