A working reference of regulations, frameworks, assessment tools and open-access data platforms for companies operating in or depending on coastal and marine environments — focused on measuring, disclosing and reducing climate risk.
Binding EU and German regulations that directly govern what companies operating in coastal and marine areas must do — and what risks they must manage or disclose.
Widely adopted voluntary frameworks that companies use to structure their climate and nature risk processes — applicable across all sectors including marine operators.
Frameworks and guidance documents specifically designed for coastal and marine contexts — highly relevant for ports, offshore operators, mariculture, shipping and coastal developers.
Platforms and services that help companies assess specific physical and transition climate risks relevant to their coastal or marine activities.
Structured methodologies and analytical approaches used by researchers, regulators, and companies to assess marine climate risks. Most are available as published guidance or open toolboxes.
Directly usable online tools — most free or free with registration — that provide data, maps, risk screening or monitoring information relevant to coastal and marine climate risk.
German and European monitoring programmes and databases that underpin evidence-based marine risk assessment. Less interactive than tools above but critical data sources.
Platforms and tools that help companies structure, calculate and report their climate and nature-related risks — particularly relevant for companies in the blue economy under CSRD/TNFD obligations.
