The partnership is responding to growing demand from asset owners, lenders and investors for climate risk assessments that lead to clear priorities, quantified risks and opportunities, and tangible changes in business strategy, the firm said in a statement. This need is being reinforced by new disclosure requirements such as the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards, which are pushing climate risk further into the core of governance and investment decisions.

“Real estate owners and lenders increasingly need climate risk analysis that supports defensible decisions on investment, resilience and reporting, not just high-level indicators.” said Lukky Ahmed, CEO and founder of Climate X. “Our partnership with Orbis Advisory brings together advanced climate analytics and practical advisory support so clients can integrate climate considerations into the strategies and structures they already rely on.”

By combining Climate X’s asset-level climate-risk analytics with Orbis Advisory’s advisory and implementation expertise, the collaboration creates a bridge between climate resilience and day-to-day decision-making. Together, the firms can help real estate companies embed granular physical and transition risk insights into existing reporting, governance and investment processes, rather than creating separate, standalone workstreams.

Climate X’s platforms provide detailed views of physical climate risks at individual asset and portfolio level and translate them into financial and operational metrics. Orbis Advisory works with organisations to integrate this type of insight into climate reporting, risk management and broader sustainability strategies. Working together, they aim to make climate disclosures more evidence-based, commercially relevant and actionable for real estate owners and their financial stakeholders.

Initially, the partnership will focus on real estate portfolios where climate-related disclosure and resilience planning are becoming central to asset value and access to capital. This shift comes as an estimated 26.1 per cent of US homes, representing $12.7 trillion in value, are already exposed to at least one severe climate risk, while climate hazards could drive $560 to $610 billion in annual fixed asset damage globally by 2035. As the collaboration develops, the two firms may also explore opportunities to support clients in adjacent sectors such as infrastructure, subject to client demand and alignment.
