This section will go through the dataset available for download and explain the methodology behind it. We will also show you how to use and interpret the numbers, which includes a written interpretation of the datasets.
What are the CSV datasets?
Comma separated value (CSV) files contain the physical climate risk and financial impact analysis information from Visual Summary Dashboard product, which can be used for strategic planning needs. The CSV files are useful if you would like to use the underlying data to create your own graphs or charts for a report or presentation, to undergo further analysis (such as data aggregations, comparisons between assets etc.) or as an input into your Excel models.
Likewise, the data is provided in geojson format for your convenience.

Example Financial Impact Interpretation
Let’s say the csv value for structural damage is 0.035 and business interruption is 0.0137 (0.0137 X 365 = 5 days) for 2030 under SSP5-8.5 for cyclones. One interpretation of that would be: The asset is projected to have an expected annual damage of 3.5% and an expected annual business interruption of 5 days due to tropical cyclones for the 2030 period (2025-2034) under the high carbon emissions (SSP5-8.5) scenario.
