XDI worked with a global investment manager with Assets Under Management greater than one trillion US dollars to assess physical climate risks to its real assets portfolio.

A large supermarket group with assets in multiple countries recently had its operations impacted by two back-to-back extreme weather events. It was dissatisfied with the results from a top-down, postal code level of physical climate risk analysis received from a previous provider as key insights into necessary adaptation actions were limited. The company was looking for a provider who could offer highly granular, asset-level results that informed cost-benefit analyses of various adaptation pathways.

Increasing urban heat is already resulting in adverse impacts on human health and asset performance in Eastern Sydney. These impacts are only going to intensify in the future unless ambient temperatures are reduced significantly through implementation of heat adaptation. Sydney Water - a state-owned institution came to XDI in order to understand the risk excess heat presented now and into the future, and to explore adaption options to address it.

The Greater Cities Commission partnered with the Office of Energy and Climate Change (OECC) to generate a view of climate risk across the Six Cities Region using XDI data and analysis. The analysis involved a high level regional analysis to identify and quantify risk, a more detailed analysis of high risk areas and identification of adaptation measures. The analysis was used to inform GCC plans and inform investment pathways.
