UK-based flood science specialist JBA Risk Management has partnered with start-up TransZero, which helps businesses with climate-related risk disclosure reporting, providing insights for property assets located anywhere in the world.
TransZero was launched in September 2025 to support the asset management, banking, insurance and retail sectors. Its cloud-hosted platform and API solutions make use of the best-in-class climate and hazard models to quantify the impacts of a wide range of climate-related perils to assess risk for any location in the world. TransZero’s platform allows companies to understand the impact of alternative climate adaptation measures on global property portfolios, supporting their climate-resilience strategies and climate related disclosures, allowing users to quantify the impacts of climate risk across their supply chains.
JBA Risk Management is providing TransZero with access to its global flood maps and high-resolution flood data, delivering location-level insight into physical flood risk for both current day and future climate scenarios. The data enables TransZero to assess how flood risk across users’ property portfolios may evolve over time, including changes in annual damage to assets from 2025 through to 2100 under alternative Share Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) climate pathways.
Dr Iain Willis, TransZero Director and co-founder, commented:
“It’s a pleasure to partner with JBA Risk Management - they are the world’s leading experts in flood intelligence, and this new partnership allows our clients to benefit from this capability. With river, surface water and coastal flood risk predicted to further increase for many regions in the world, our clients can now benefit from the best flood mapping available to assess their property risk."
Dr David Wood, Managing Director, JBA Risk Management, added:
“We are delighted that TransZero has chosen JBA’s expert flood risk insight, delivered through our suite of API services, to support climate change-related risk assessments for properties worldwide. TransZero’s platform shows how our global high-resolution data can be translated into practical, decision-ready insight for asset and risk managers.”
