[#dataviz] Climate change could be very costly for those who have invested in infrastructure

Researchers at the EDHEC Infra & Private Assets Research Institute looked at the impact of different scenarios on thousands of infrastructure assets.

The risks of transition and physical risks will affect all installations, with varying degrees of intensity: energy and water, data centres, transport, etc. The total bill could run into hundreds of billions of euros, but could be limited if an "orderly" transition is implemented. Here are a few illustrations to illustrate the main findings of this research.
