ResilienceArc launches at London Climate Action Week – a new platform built by Arc, Earth Capital Nexus (LSE) and XDI

A first-of-its-kind open tool that helps to build resilience in the face of our changing climate.

(London, 22 June 2026) - Today, XDI joined partners Arc and Earth Capital Nexus at the London School of Economics and Political Science to launch ResilienceArc, a first-of-its-kind open tool that combines physical climate risk analysis, adaptation assessment and resilience benchmarking. It helps users understand where companies’ climate risks exist, make decisions to improve adaptation, and build long-term resilience.

Launching in beta at the Climate Innovation Forum at London Climate Action Week, ResilienceArc brings together asset-level physical climate risk data, corporate adaptation disclosures, and expert resilience assessments into a single, unified platform. By connecting these previously fragmented sources of information, it provides a clearer picture of both climate exposure and resilience readiness. 

As climate impacts increasingly affect business operations, infrastructure, supply chains, and investment outcomes, organisations face a growing challenge: understanding not only their exposure to physical climate risks, but also whether they are prepared to respond. 

Despite growing recognition that resilience investment is needed, decision makers lack a common basis for assessing resilience, comparing organisations, and directing capital towards effective adaptation. Information is often fragmented across datasets, frameworks, and methodologies. This makes it difficult for businesses, investors, and policymakers to act with confidence or coordinate around shared priorities.

ResilienceArc has been developed to address this challenge by providing a shared foundation of resilience intelligence that is free, transparent, and publicly accessible.

Coverage and key insights 

• Coverage:
  
  • Assessment with all metrics covered: ~200 companies
  • Assets-only profiles: ~3,000 companies
• Number of assets:
  
  • 2 million+
• Early insights
  
  • Higher exposure is not driving greater disclosure on resilience: Among the companies assessed, those with high exposure are no more likely to set out how they assess, prepare, and plan for the occurrence of hazardous climate events than companies with lower exposure.
  • Few companies have robust forward-looking commitments on climate resilience. For example, no company has a target for surface water flooding, a significant hazard for 9 in 10 companies.
  • Supply chain risk is a key vulnerability: Of the ~200 companies with all five metrics assessed, one third (34%) describe how they engage upstream with suppliers on physical risk, while less than 10% provide examples of engagement downstream.  
  • Signals on resilience are beginning to emerge: Although overall scores are low, key elements of planning and processes are in place with over 90% of the sample conducting either risk or environmental impact assessments across their business units and operations.

Designed to support decision making across the real economy

ResilienceArc is built to support a wide range of decision makers across business, finance, and policy.

• For financial institutions and investors, it provides a common basis for assessing risks from, helping to improve comparability across companies and enabling more informed capital allocation towards adaptation and resilience-building measures.
• For companies, it offers a transparent and accessible way to benchmark performance—supporting organisations to better understand their exposure to physical climate risks and plan for the long-term.
• For policymakers and regulators, it establishes a shared framework for understanding the vulnerability of the private sector, supporting the development of more consistent approaches to adaptation and resilience planning. 

 “The time has come to address the reality that is already here. Changes in climate are affecting us today and, unfortunately, their impacts will continue to intensify.  Yet, this is not a challenge that any one organisation, country, or individual can tackle alone. 

We are delighted to launch ResilienceArc, bringing together the very best insights and making them available in the public domain. Through transparency and access to information, we create opportunities for learning, challenge, and continuous improvement, supporting better-informed decisions and helping to build a more resilient future.” - Meryam Omi, Chief Executive Officer of Arc

Built for collaboration, designed to evolve

ResilienceArc has been developed in collaboration with leading partners, including Earth Capital Nexus at the London School of Economics and Political Science, XDI (Cross Dependency Initiative), and Corporate Knights. 

The platform is intentionally open and collaborative—providing transparent access to methodologies, data sources and assumptions, while inviting users to test, challenge, and improve the tool over time. This approach reflects Arc’s belief that resilience information should function as public infrastructure: transparent, accessible, and continuously improved through collaboration. No single organisation can build the foundations needed for resilience investment alone; progress depends on shared evidence, trusted methodologies and collective stewardship.

“Within this project we have thought deeply about how to quantify resilience to climate change within a context that captures the real-world impacts to damage and disruption to assets, critical infrastructure, supply chains and the local economy. With this Beta release of ResilienceArc we are showcasing cutting-edge methodologies for asset-level analysis that are cross-checked with disclosed information on adaptation planning. The ultimate aim is that we can provide an independent and transparent analysis of corporate climate physical risk, which fully reflects the effectiveness of adaptation plans, so that we can see if there is a path to resilience."   – Dr. Karl Mallon, Co-Founder & CEO, XDI

"ResilienceArc represents an important step in understanding how companies are advancing their resilience to climate and other risks and contributing to societal resilience. At Earth Capital Nexus, we are excited to surface our Corporate Resilience Alignment Benchmark methodology on ResilienceArc to produce cutting-edge resilience data and pair this with geospatial insights. The combined analytics have the potential to drive better decisions, faster action and more investment, from corporates, investors and regulators alike. We’re delighted with this fantastic partnership with Arc and XDI to make these insights open to all.”  – Prof. Nicola Ranger, Exec Director, LSE Earth Capital Nexus

As a sister platform to TransitionArc, ResilienceArc adds a critical resilience dimension to climate transition analysis. Together, the two platforms help build a more complete picture of how companies are navigating climate change — both through their contribution to the transition and their preparedness for physical climate impacts. By connecting these perspectives, Arc aims to strengthen the shared information foundations for investment and decision-making in a changing world. 

Now live and free to access

ResilienceArc is available globally and free to access online. Users can register and explore the platform from today at: http://resiliencearc.org 

The launch marks the first iteration of an evolving platform that will continue to expand in coverage, depth, and functionality through real-world use and collaboration with stakeholders across the climate and financial ecosystem.
