ERM and Jupiter Intelligence partnership turns climate and weather risk into insights

ERM and Jupiter Intelligence are partnering to deliver climate-resilient risk management and investment strategies to clients. The alliance will combine Jupiter’s decision-grade data and analytics with ERM’s operational expertise.

Climate change is bringing more severe weather events, which have an adverse impact on human and animal life around the world. Many parts of the UK encountered at least three heatwaves in 2026, with very warm weather reaching into Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland as well as southern England, following England’s warmest June on record, and the country’s driest and sunniest spring for 132 years. Earlier, a series of named storms had pummelled the UK from the autumn of 2023 onwards, helping to cause widespread flooding in early January, and contributing to the wettest winter half year – October 2023 to March 2024 – in more than 250 years.

Businesses also need to adapt to this. As extreme weather events intensify, physical climate risk is jeopardising operations, asset values, and supply chain continuity across industries. To help with this, sustainability consultancy ERM is partnering with analytics firm Jupiter Intelligence to help boost companies’ resilience planning and operational transformation capabilities.

Jupiter’s decision-grade analytics can now be integrated into risk models with ERM’s clients, aiding investment decisions, and adaptation strategies, backed by rigorous science and built for institutional use. From facility-level risk assessment to supply chain vulnerability analysis, ERM will then work to ensure the climate risk insights drive measurable resilience outcomes across the enterprise.

Michael Mangiante, global co-lead for climate risk and resiliency at ERM, commented, “Jupiter’s best-in-class, science-based climate risk projections enable ERM to provide clients with the most accurate estimates of how these risks will impact their business models and strategies, ensuring we can help them take the actions required to build resilience and protect value.”

A release from the firms suggested the partnership has already paid dividends for clients, with the two companies having collaborated on engagements across regions and industries. This has included providing portfolio-scale hazard analysis for infrastructure investors and asset managers, enabling repeatable climate risk evaluation frameworks for due diligence, capital planning, and adaptation prioritization across diversified global holdings. And the partnership has also helped with the integration of Jupiter’s climate-hazard projections into operational resilience assessments and supply chain vulnerability analyses, supporting capital planning, insurance positioning, and site-level adaptation strategies.

“Organisations today need to act on physical and extreme weather risk exposure with clarity and speed – moving from understanding risk to building resilience,” said Rich Sorkin, co-founder and CEO, Jupiter Intelligence. “Combining Jupiter’s science with ERM’s strategic insight and implementation expertise ensures customers can move from understanding to action.”
