About Us

Climate X is a purpose-driven climate adaptation data company set to revolutionise how the world manages assets, property, and infrastructure.

We apply cutting-edge, peer-reviewed science to help prevent the worst impacts of climate change. Our innovative approach combines climate projections, remote sensing observations, and sophisticated modelling to project the frequency and severity of physical climate risks such as floods, subsidence, and storms.

Our flagship SaaS platform, Spectra, combined with our Adapt solution, provides a comprehensive climate risk and adaptation planning toolkit. Spectra enables financial institutions and real estate firms to explore future climate pathways and:

• Identify potential property and company asset damage from severe weather events
• Assess the impact of climate risks on asset valuations
• Build climate resilience and make data-driven investment and lending decisions
• Generate detailed physical risk ratings and climate-adjusted Value at Risk (cVaR) forecasts through 2100
• Analyse risks at unprecedented granularity (down to 10x10m in urban areas)

We advocate diversity with our founders, team, and investors from various backgrounds. We're not building just a team but a place of innovation where problem-solving and fun coexist to address the most significant challenge our society faces today.
