Bloomberg Expands Climate Analytics for Low-Carbon Transition

Bloomberg has broadened its suite of climate solutions by introducing advanced analytics that help financial institutions evaluate how companies and portfolios may perform as low-carbon technologies continue scaling. These tools allow investors to identify opportunities, assess risks, and align their strategies with net-zero commitments.

Expanding the Data Framework

The expanded framework integrates carbon analytics with bottom-up evaluations of company exposure to shifts in markets, technology, and policies. It gives detailed insights into revenue and capital expenditures associated with clean energy and fossil fuels.

Investment Growth in Low-Carbon Technologies

Bloomberg’s data shows a strong upward trend in global low-carbon investment, rising from $160 billion in 2009 to $2.1 trillion in 2024. In the first half of 2025, renewable energy projects alone attracted a record $386 billion, representing a 10% increase compared to the previous year.

Assessing Transition Risks

Historically, most transition risk models have focused on carbon pricing mechanisms like taxes and emission fees. Bloomberg’s new approach incorporates these elements while expanding to measure business resilience to changes in markets and technologies.

According to Bloomberg, the analytics enable investors to test revenue sensitivity under varying climate scenarios and assess the credibility of corporate transition plans.

Global Market Coverage

The dataset includes companies covering 96% of global market capitalization. It complements existing Bloomberg metrics such as transition revenue-at-risk, carbon forecasts, and transition credibility scores, providing a more holistic understanding of the low-carbon transition.

Author’s Summary

Bloomberg’s enhanced analytics deepen insights into global low-carbon transition trends, equipping investors with data-driven tools to manage risk and advance net-zero strategies.
