DAS has introduced a new climate dataset package to help organizations manage long-term climate risks in rural Australia. The dataset, accessible via the DAS Rural Platform, provides climate risk assessments at the property level, focusing on variables such as rainfall variability, temperature, and drought index. This data aims to give organizations a more accurate understanding of climate vulnerabilities affecting agricultural assets and regional property portfolios. The dataset is designed to support frontline risk assessments, climate stress testing, and resilience planning for institutions with rural asset exposure, including insurers and banks. DAS’ CEO, Anthony Willmott, emphasizes the importance of accurate and timely data for informed decision-making, and the dataset’s high spatial resolution and geospatial standardization address traditional data limitations. The dataset is targeted at a range of stakeholders, including banks, insurers, and real estate firms, to inform policy pricing, risk mitigation strategies, and investment decisions. By providing reliable, property-specific data, DAS aims to support sustainable investment, risk assessment, and resilience planning in the face of a changing climate.
