Clean, reliable and affordable energy is essential to mitigating climate risks and securing the future economic success of Europe. The energy transition is not simply a climate imperative — it is a strategic necessity for economic stability, national security, and long-term prosperity.
But how prepared is the industry for the increasing physical impacts of climate change?
Could Europe’s ambitious renewable energy goals be derailed by extreme weather events?
To understand the scale and severity of this challenge, Zurich Resilience Solutions conducted a detailed industry analysis using our proprietary climate data models to map and assess the climate risk exposure of energy generating and storage assets across five European countries under an IPCC climate scenario to 2030 and 2050: UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
