The VoLo Foundation uses a three step process to measure exposure to climate-related financial risk
Step 1 - Create a business as usual (BAU) profile Step 2 - Create a Sustainable Development Scenario (2°C) profile Step 3 - Compare asset values under the BAU and 2°C Scenarios

Net Cash Flows
The Business as Usual (BAU) company profile includes estimates for oil and gas production, spending, cash flows and the net present value (NPV) of all upstream projects under the IEA’s New Policy Scenario (NPS). As an example, under the IEA’s NPS business as usual scenario, Exxon Mobil was forecast to produce 41.6trln BOE of liquids and gas through 2064, generating total net cash flows of $619bln with an NPV of $162bln.

Under a 2°C Low Risk scenario, which uses the same Base Case oil and gas price curves used in the BAU profile, Exxon Mobil is estimated to produce 36.6trln BOE of oil and gas generating $521bln in net cash flows with a net present value of $147bln. Under the 2°C High Risk Case, which uses Low Price oil and gas assumptions, production would also be estimated at 36.6bln BOE of oil and gas generating $189bln in net cash flows with a net present value of $52bln.

Lastly, the net present value of assets (NPV) under the BAU Case and the 2°C Low Risk cases profile are compared using a Climate Risk Ratio which is calculated as follows for Exxon Mobil:
A 9.35% Climate Risk Ratio implies that around 9% of Exxon Mobil’s assets could potentially be at risk under oil and natural gas demand conditions consistent with the IEA’s 2°C Scenario case. Company Climate Risk Ratio = Total Asset Value
under 2C Low Risk Scenario / NPV of Assets under BAU Scenario
Exxon Mobil 9.35% = 100%
/ $162.37bln
Climate Risk Ratio Calculation – Exxon Mobil
The Climate Risk Ratio is used to rank companies from least to most exposed to climate-related financial risk.

1. Clear, consistent, and comparable metrics can be developed to measure climate-related financial risk. 2. Keeping temperatures from rising more than 2°C may expose oil and gas companies to a number of financial risks related to demand, price, cash flows, asset values, debt repayment, and sovereignty rights. 3. Companies that assume that natural decline rates will allow them to continue to fully develop their asset bases even under a 2°C case may not be fully considering how SOEs will response if demand declines. 4. While most of the oil and gas industry’s $1trln of debt is short-dated and manageable, companies with debt obligations that extend beyond 2040 are more likely to exposed to climate-related financial risk. 5. More work still needs to be done on the data front to incorporate GHG estimates into climate-risk models.
