XDI Systems, known as the Cross Dependency Initiative, is a mission-driven company focused on accelerating action on climate change by integrating physical climate risk data into decision-making processes. Founded in 2007 as Climate Risk Pty Ltd, the organisation has evolved into a leader in physical climate risk analysis, with a particular emphasis on quantifying the impacts of climate change on physical assets, human resources, and management processes.

The key goal of XDI Systems is to help clients understand and manage the unavoidable impacts of climate change while advocating for a transition to a low-carbon world. They achieve this by providing actionable insights and innovative solutions that empower decision-makers to adapt and thrive in a changing climate. As part of their commitment to sustainability, XDI Systems is independent and aligns its operations with the imperative for climate resilience.

XDI Systems offers a range of services and tools to support climate risk management, including the Climate Risk Engines, which are sophisticated systems for quantifying physical climate risk. These engines use engineering-based methods to assess exposure and vulnerability of assets to extreme weather events and climate change hazards. By providing decision-ready financial and risk metrics, XDI Systems enables clients to make informed decisions at all scales, from individual assets to global portfolios.

In addition to their proprietary tools, XDI Systems conducts research on a wide range of climate hazards, prioritising those with the greatest impact on people, business, and finance. Their expertise spans coastal inundation, extreme heat, extreme wind, riverine flooding, forest fires, freeze-thaw cycles, hurricanes, landslides, surface water flooding, soil movement, and tropical cyclones.
