Connecting the dots:
climate-related risks, solutions and opportunities
TMP is a consulting group dedicated to understanding and solving complex climate, environmental, social, and security problems.
We produce unique climate information focused on the 2020s and combine it with social, economic and political risk data to address drivers of global stability such as biodiversity loss, the energy transition, security and sovereign debt.
We know that climate change is here, and we have the data and expertise to address the challenges you may already be facing in your company, organization, or community. Our approach helps our partners to prepare for near-term climate-related risks and seize emerging opportunities.
Alongside state-of-the-art information and unique analyses, we deliver tailored advisory services; run workshops, tabletop exercises, and training; and implement scalable climate solutions.
Our mission
TMP works with partners, including governments, investors, corporations, research institutions, NGOs, and foundations, to assess the risks posed by near-term climate change and to design effective solutions at local, national and international levels.
Fortunately, the world already has many of the solutions needed and continues to develop more – but they are taking longer than expected to implement. Climate change endangers the social, economic, and political stability required for the success of these solutions – and that of their stakeholders: governments, organizations, communities, and companies.
TMP’s goal is to provide the information and advice needed to ensure stability for our partners and the world. This may sound ambitious, but our optimism comes from real-world experience, having actually seen and evaluated climate impacts across almost 60 countries.
Our approach
The direct impacts of climate change are momentous, but its social, economic, and political repercussions are often underestimated.
At TMP, we catalyze transformative action by analyzing both the risks and the opportunities resulting from climate change and its cascading impacts. We focus on urgent and targeted adaptation solutions that provide mitigation co-benefits, such as resilience in mineral supply chains for clean transition. The world currently lacks adequate information to guide these adaptation measures because the challenge and its urgency have been dramatically miscalculated.
Our approach offers three advantages
Timeframes that matters
Our climate models analyze the risks of the next decade, as the timeframes relevant for most decision-makers are much shorter than what traditional climate models can offer.
Extremes not averages
Our climate models focus on unseasonal or extreme weather, such as heat spikes, floods or droughts, which can destroy crops, cause unsafe working conditions, or even damage infrastructure and assets.
Systemic approach to risk
Our analyses incorporate environmental, political and social risk data to provide a complete risk picture, because we know that climate change does not happen in a vacuum.
These three innovations allow TMP to give you a clear, realistic and detailed picture of the risk and opportunity landscape ahead of you.
Why work with us
Whether you represent a government, an NGO, a community, or a business, TMP’s interdisciplinary team will help you to manage risks and pursue opportunities by providing a clear, comprehensive view of how climate change is already affecting your interests. We will work with you to anticipate this change over the next decade and respond to it accordingly.

Providing a wide range of expertise
TMP’s data and analysis is produced by our team of analysts with technical, financial, and quantitative skills as well as expertise in fieldwork, community engagement, social science, and qualitative research. -
Going beyond climate risk with state-of-the-art data
Climate change does not happen in a vacuum, so we use environmental, social, political, economic, and demographic data – fact-checked during field visits – to augment our analyses and to accurately assess climate-related risks.
Climate impacts are multifaceted and require correspondingly broad analyses – not just of the near-term physical changes, but also interacting political, social, and economic risks.
TMP’s unique datasets have been used by government agencies, private companies, foundations, and various organizations around the world working in several sectors.
-
Adapting to our audiences
At TMP, we tailor complex and challenging information to different audiences’ needs. Rather than inciting anxiety, we communicate possible risks objectively and straightforwardly, allowing us to move smoothly towards resolving the problem. Our style is to clearly communicate risks, devise solutions, and work with you through to implementation.
-
Using insights from fieldwork
TMP combines large, global datasets and climate models with fieldwork experience in more than 35 countries. Through this extensive fieldwork, we fact-check data from public institutions to improve the reliability and accuracy of our data sets. We are one of the few organizations that create data sets based on understanding the issues on the ground, not just the information in the data. With both macro and micro perspectives, we provide tightly focused analysis, practical and relevant solutions, and more effective support.
-
Speed, cost, and mission
Our own climate models highlight the speed at which TMP must work. Thus, we are determined to deliver our information at unmatched speed and cost. Our core mission is – and will remain – to drive real change by providing information, solutions, and support to those that need it, quickly and effectively.
Our solutions
TMP’s mission is to use data alongside insight and experience to create actionable solutions to real-life problems and organizational challenges. We customize the data and analysis to predict issues, and we provide full, hands-on support for the design and implementation of practical solutions.
Better information
We create unique geospatial climate models and analyses to help our partners better understand the risks they face from extreme weather events, unseasonal weather patterns, and resulting social or political instability.
Practical advice
We deliver advisory services with fresh ideas for proactive and practicable responses to those risks and the challenges they present.
Genuine learning
We conduct seminars, workshops, tabletop exercises, and training for stakeholders, ensuring that our climate models, analyses, and advice have real impact.
Solutions driven by evidence
We invest in developing and deploying unique state-of-the-art climate risk models, intelligence, and analyses and then build on those to propose solutions and collaborate on ground-level implementation.
We provide meticulous support to solve specific problems across Key systems and processes, such as:
Transition minerals
Food security
Security
Biodiversity
Community resilience
Sovereign debt
Social risk assessment
Climate finance
Resilient energy systems
