Public data release: supply chain and sub sovereign risk

Financial and economic risks from climate change are consistently undervalued and fail to capture the complex and cascading impact of global warming over 1.5 degrees. To highlight the reality that no single country is ‘safe’, XDI publicly released a dataset comparing the physical climate risk of every state and province in the world.

About the public dataset

XDI’s Gross Domestic Climate Risk ranks over 2,600 jurisdictions around the world in 2050 according to modelled projections of damage to the built environment from extreme weather and climate change including from flooding, forest fires and sea level rise. It also identifies which of these jurisdictions see the greatest escalation of modelled damage from 1990 to 2050.

The results showed that globally-significant states and provinces in China and the United States will be hit hardest, along with major cities and centres of economic activity around the world.

“Since extensive built infrastructure generally overlaps with high levels of economic activity and capital value it is imperative that the physical risk of climate change is appropriately understood and priced,” said XDI CEO Rohan Hamden.

How was the dataset used?

The dataset was published on the XDI website and shared with journalists to get maximum international exposure. It resulted in 1,142 news articles, and has since been used by NGOs around the world to demonstrate the severity and interconnectivity of risk between states, countries and regions.

Gross Domestic Climate Risk for commercial use

Civil society: A voice for homeowners

For many individuals, their homes are their single, most significant investment in their lives. Yet homeowners are often the last to know about their current or impending property’s risk to extreme weather events or what they can do to mitigate these risks. To address this challenge, XDI’s sister organisation, Climate Valuation, was created, providing home owners and home buyers with an immediate on the spot risk rating for individual properties and placing residential datasets in the public domain.

Public data release - exposing risk in the UK property market

Unlike large banks, small lenders rarely have access to the detailed physical climate risk data they need to identify high risk properties in their portfolio. In the UK, XDI publicly released extreme weather and climate change physical risk statistics for 34 million commercial and residential addresses to ensure those most impacted could identify their risk.
