What is the XDC Model?
X-Degree Compatibility ("XDC") is a science-based climate metric which Permits for assessment of climate as a specific risk category. The XDC estimates how many °C the Earth would warm by 2050 if all companies were to operate as emissions-intensively as the individual company / industry / investment portfolio, under consideration. As a science-based climate indicator, the XDC is able to provide answers for various stakeholders regarding climate-relevant risks within Business development. For example, if a company has an XDC of 2.7 that would mean that the earth would heat up to 2.7 °C using the XDC's computational logic if all companies were performing as emissions-intensive as the one under consideration. The XDC is calculated using the XDC Model.
