About Climate X

Climate X is a leading tech startup that quantifies present and future financial risk from climate and hazards. We build scientific models and software that help organisations understand exposure, assess risk, and make better decisions under climate uncertainty.

Firms (e.g. banks, insurance companies, and real estate investors) use Climate X models to turn future climate hazards into decision-ready risk and loss outputs at both asset and portfolio level. Banks quantify exposure and potential losses for risk management, stress testing, and disclosure workflows. Estate firms use generate asset- and portfolio-level reporting aligned to frameworks like TCFD, SFDR, EU Taxonomy, GRESB, and CRREM, and compare climate risk across portfolios/regions.
