ClimateSolvency.com

This note sketches how ClimateSolvency.com can be used as a neutral, descriptive banner for programmes that connect climate risk and financial solvency across banks, insurers, asset owners and platforms.

This is not a scientific paper, not a regulatory position and not advice. It simply illustrates possible ways a buyer could use the ClimateSolvency.com banner.

1. Context — climate risk as a solvency driver

Over the last years, central banks, supervisors and the NGFS have converged on a simple idea: climate risk is financial risk. Physical risks (heatwaves, floods, storms, droughts, wildfires) and transition risks (policy shocks, carbon pricing, technology shifts, demand changes) can erode margins, destroy collateral, strand assets and drive capital and liquidity pressures for financial institutions.

In practice, this has translated into:

• Climate scenario exercises (NGFS-aligned and internal) for banks and insurers.
• Supervisory expectations on climate risk integration in governance, risk and capital frameworks.
• Growing links between climate pathways and solvency metrics (own funds, SCR, ICAAP, ORSA, liquidity).
• Emerging indices, dashboards and observatories that track climate exposures for portfolios and territories.

However, the language remains fragmented. Many institutions run “climate risk” or “climate stress test” projects without a simple banner that connects this directly to solvency in the eyes of Boards, CFOs and supervisors.

2. What “climate solvency” can mean in practice

In this note, climate solvency is understood as:

“The ability of a company, portfolio or territory to remain solvent, financeable and insurable under plausible climate pathways and shocks (physical and transition).”

This usually combines:

• Physical risk channels — damage to assets and infrastructure, business interruption, productivity losses, migration, food and water shocks.
• Transition risk channels — policy and regulatory changes, carbon pricing, technology shifts, market sentiment and litigation risk.
• Second-round effects — macroeconomic impacts, sovereign risk, cross-sector contagion, feedback loops between the real economy and the financial system.

A Climate Solvency Framework could therefore sit above:

• NGFS-style scenario libraries and internal narratives.
• Risk, capital and liquidity metrics (ICAAP/ORSA, SCR, internal models).
• Sector and geography heatmaps, limits and portfolio steering tools.
• Engagement strategies with clients, supervisors and investors.

3. Illustrative use cases for ClimateSolvency.com

3.1 Banks & banking groups

For a banking group, ClimateSolvency.com can be the neutral banner for a multi-year programme that links:

• Credit risk, collateral management and sector policies under climate pathways.
• Capital planning, ICAAP and recovery planning under climate stress.
• Funding strategy, green and transition finance, client engagement.

3.2 Insurers & reinsurers

For insurers and reinsurers, the banner can host:

• Physical risk views on natural catastrophes, health and mortality.
• Transition risk for assets and liabilities, including long-term guarantees.
• ORSA narratives that articulate climate risk as a solvency topic, not just ESG.

3.3 Asset owners & managers

For pension funds, sovereign funds or large asset managers, ClimateSolvency.com can support:

• Portfolio-wide assessments of climate-related threats to long-term solvency of investees.
• Indices, labels or observatories focused on “climate & solvency” for sectors or regions.
• Dialogue with regulators, supervisors and beneficiaries around climate resilience.

3.4 Platforms, data & analytics providers

For a specialised platform, the domain can act as:

• The main front-door brand for a climate-solvency analytics suite.
• A hub for APIs, dashboards and scenario tools tailored to risk and finance teams.
• A neutral space to host collaborative initiatives (indices, benchmarks, working groups).

4. Why the banner matters — semantic and strategic value

The descriptive wording “Climate Solvency” is simple enough for Boards and risk committees, while still pointing clearly to:

• Climate risk as a driver of losses, capital needs and business model change.
• Solvency as the core prudential lens for supervisors and investors.

Owning ClimateSolvency.com gives the buyer:

• An exact-match .com banner that can be used across entities, jurisdictions and partner programmes.
• A clear separation between concept / framework and any individual product, rating or index.
• A defensible semantic position if “climate solvency” becomes a commonly used expression among regulators, media or academia.

The domain is intentionally framed as descriptive and neutral, not as an “official” or regulatory label. This keeps room for:

• Different methodologies and scenario sets (NGFS or others).
• Co-existence with existing brands, internal models and reporting frameworks.
• Partnerships with multiple data, modelling and assurance providers.

5. Boundaries, safety & legal clarity

To avoid confusion and preserve legal safety, the following boundaries are strongly recommended for any future use of the ClimateSolvency.com banner.

• Descriptive asset only — ClimateSolvency.com should be presented as a digital, semantic asset, not as an authority, regulator or rating agency.
• No automatic “official” status — the banner must not be portrayed as an official standard, label or certification unless such status is formally granted by the relevant authorities.
• Separation between name and methodology — the domain can host one or several frameworks, models and indices, which remain fully under the responsibility of the buyer and its partners.
• Transparent disclaimers — any live site should clearly state that no legal, financial, tax or investment advice is provided, and that users must rely on their own professional judgement.

The current owner is transferring only the ClimateSolvency.com domain name. Any future content, frameworks, models, products or claims under this banner will be entirely under the buyer’s control and responsibility.
