What to Expect

From Climate Risk to Resilience Action

Climate risk is reshaping decisions across utilities, insurers, governments and supply chains.

Join Cognizant and Esri to explore how a shared, map-based view of threat exposure helps organizations identify risk, simulate impacts and prioritize resilience investments, turning disparate data into climate intelligence to drive coordinated resilience action at scale.

Climate data is growing. Decision clarity is not.

Most organizations already have access to climate models, risk assessments and hazard data.

The challenge is turning that information into practical decisions. Leadership teams must answer difficult questions every day:

  • Which assets are most exposed?
  • Which Hazard has the greatest potential to affect our daily operations?
  • Where could disruption have the greatest operational or financial impact?
  • Which suppliers, facilities or supply lines are most at risk?
  • Where do I invest my next available resilience dollar?
  • How do different teams make decisions from the same risk picture?
  • How can a common view uncover co-benefits of climate actions?

Organizations don't need more climate data. They need to make data more easily understandable. They need a common operating picture that turns information into action. Powered by Esri's geospatial technology, the demonstration will show how leaders can identify exposure, evaluate impacts and prioritize resilience investments with greater confidence.

One Climate Event. Five Critical Decisions.

Powered by Esri's geospatial technology and Cognizant's resilience expertise, attendees will experience how different stakeholders respond to the same climate event through their own lens.

  • Utility Infrastructure

    See how critical grid assets can be assessed against flood, wildfire, drought, wind and vegetation risks to prioritize resilience investments.

  • Insurance & Financial Risk

    Explore climate exposure and accumulation risk across property portfolios with address-level precision.

  • Supply Chain Resilience

    Identify vulnerable suppliers, logistics dependencies and operational risks before disruption occurs.

  • Government & Public Infrastructure

    Understand how climate intelligence can support preparedness, response planning and cross-agency coordination.

  • Executive Investment Prioritization

    Tackle the leadership challenge:

"If you have a limited resilience budget, which assets do you protect first?"

Build a clearer picture of climate risk and make better resilience decisions.
