Dispelling the myth that reliable nature data is inaccessible and fragmented
NatureAlpha, a dynamic AI fintech business for preeminent nature risk data and analysis, announced the launch of Geoverse 2.0, its enhanced analytics platform designed to help transform the way companies and investors measure natural world risks.
The evolution of Geoverse 2.0 responds to demand from the finance industry, companies and investment decision makers, burdened with the complexity of nature data and lack of clarity around regulatory disclosures. Geoverse 2.0 provides holistic, accurate and reliable evaluation of natural world risk, across asset classes, in alignment with the Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework. Thereby empowering companies to knowledgably mitigate their nature risk and investors to make informed decisions to protect their investments, whilst future-proofing for forthcoming nature reporting and disclosure requirements.

Addressing nature’s complexity and nuances, Geoverse 2.0 aims to provide multidimensional, automated nature risk and impact analytics, with unprecedented levels of granularity and reliability. Underpinned by AI, enhancements to the platform include: amplified data sources, accelerated calculations, optimised analysis and comprehensive asset locations.
The automation of precision asset location data is a focal element of Geoverse 2.0. NatureAlpha applies 28 geospatial layers, including state of nature and biodiversity layers, to the analysis of 8.5 million asset locations worldwide, delivering 99.5% accuracy. Furthermore, the platform’s minimal reliance on human intervention facilitates its competitive pricing.
