Our take
Climate change is one of the most pressing global issues and the UK has already set the way for clean and green growth and established a National Adaptation Programme. Therefore, there has been a rise in climate-tech companies developed in the UK to address these issues. In comparison to ESG-assessment platforms or climate fintechs focused on cleaner investment and climate mitigation, Climate X aims to change the way the world manages assets, property and infrastructure through a new vertical of climate adaptation software. They are modelling climate effects that are inevitable due to past and current greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate X works through an API which simulates multiple climate projections and then estimates how these climate projections would damage the assets. The platform then quantifies this damage and models the impacts' valuations and cashflows. Its models update automatically and self-calibrate in response to the latest available scientific data and are built on a cloud-based architecture for seamless access, secure data exchange and integration.
The future of Climate X is promising, as it is working with the UK’s leading climate scientists, AI specialists, financial services professionals and the London School of Economics. Adding to its strong position, a Series A of $18M awarded in 2024 will be used to grow its market share internationally. If successful, Climate X will save customers millions of pounds, helping individuals and organisations to be more resilient to climate change, meet incoming regulatory requirements and make smarter investment decisions.
