Across commercial real estate (CRE), hazard and climate risk intelligence has shifted from a niche concern to a core component of underwriting, acquisition due diligence, and environmental consulting. Yet the market for hazard/climate SaaS tools is fragmented. Some platforms focus on current physical hazards, others on future climate scenarios, and many are optimized for regulatory ESG reporting rather than real estate decision-making.

This white paper provides a clear, sector-specific comparison of leading hazard/climate vendors and offers tailored recommendations for:

• Debt markets (bank underwriters, credit officers, lenders)
• Equity markets (REITs, private equity, institutional owners/operators)
• Environmental consulting firms (i.e., those servicing the above two markets)

The goal is simple:
Help each sector choose the right tool for its workflow, risk tolerance, and decision-making horizon.
