RISQ

Our mission is to catalyze and inform systems-level adaptation to climate change. We model the complex financial risks posed by climate change, translating them to actionable insights for municipal debt stakeholders. risQ is a spinout of Northeastern University's Sustainability and Data Sciences (SDS) Lab and is funded by the National Science Foundation... risQ is awarded its first funding - a $225,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (NSF SBIR) grant - and the company is officially launched... risQ builds an understanding of the catastrophe ("cat") modeling and insurance markets, culminating in a technical partnership with JBA Risk Management (a renowned leader in flood modeling), wide recognition in the cat insurance sector, and an invited climate change talk at a major cat modeling conference.
