The Climate Risk Group is a group of companies, XDI and Climate Valuation, committed to quantifying and communicating the costs of climate change. Our mission is to influence decision makers – large and small – towards action that prevents catastrophic climate change using innovation, empathy and logic.
We bring innovative yet accessible analysis to businesses and governments considering how to adapt to climate change and find opportunities in a low carbon economy. The Climate Risk Group's core strength is addressing complex problems which require new solutions often involving computational modelling.
For climate adaptation, we focus on infrastructure, buildings and people. The company has worked on roads, rail, water, telecommunications and energy. The Climate Risk Group (formally Climate Risk) developed one of the world’s first climate risk training packages for general insurance with Zurich Financial Services. The company has also built risk analysis tools to assess building resilience to manifold climate hazards.
Our staff are committed to ensuring vulnerable people and groups are not left behind, and so have worked to secure projects for the social services sector to start the process of adaptation.
Our work for the Telstra Corporation has been used by the United Nation’s ITU. Furthermore the company has worked closely with WWF and other NGOs to develop national and international policy approaches for avoiding dangerous climate change.
