UK-based flood science specialist JBA Risk Management has partnered with startup TransZero to enhance flood risk assessment of real estate assets around the world.
Launched in September 2025, TransZero supports companies with climate-related risk disclosure reporting by providing insights into global real estate assets. Its platform serves the asset management, banking, insurance and retail industries.
TransZero’s cloud-hosted platform and API solutions use state-of-the-art climate and hazard models to quantify the impact of various climate-related hazards, enabling risk assessment for any location around the world.
The platform also allows companies to assess the impact of alternative climate adaptation measures on global real estate portfolios, supporting climate resilience strategies and climate-related disclosures, while helping users quantify climate risks across their supply chains.
Under the partnership, JBA Risk Management will provide TransZero with access to global flood maps and high-resolution flood data, providing location-level insights into actual flood risk for current and future climate scenarios. This enables TransZero to assess how flood risk for users’ property portfolios evolves over time, including changes in annual asset losses from 2025 to 2100 under alternative Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) climate pathways.
Dr Iain Willis, Director and Co-Founder of TransZero, said: “It’s great to be working with JBA Risk Management, world-leading experts in flood intelligence. This new partnership enables our customers to benefit from this capability. With river, surface water and coastal flood risk expected to increase further in many parts of the world, our customers can now benefit from the best flood mapping available to assess the risk to their properties.”
Dr David Wood, Managing Director of Risk Management at JBA, added: “We are delighted that TransZero has selected JBA’s expert flood risk insights, delivered through our suite of API services, to support climate change-related risk assessments for global real estate. TransZero’s platform demonstrates how our global high-resolution data can be transformed into practical, decision-ready insights for asset and risk managers.”
