Climate change and the resulting drought are putting a strain on hydroelectric power plants in Italy, which are the country's primary source of clean energy. The solution to marginalize the problem seems to come with the Snowy 2.0 project from our Australian colleagues, who have designed plants that harness water to produce and store more energy. This would not only increase the weight of clean sources faster, but also reduce the negative impacts of climate change. #Webuild

Floods, hurricanes, wildfires — extreme weather events have become the new normal. This year alone, the US faced 24 billion-dollar weather disasters. Rising sea levels and melting ice caps are threatening coastal regions worldwide, with places like the Maldives at risk of being underwater by 2100. Europe is not immune either, as seen with recent floods in Spain and wildfires across Southern Europe. While world leaders debate solutions, the impacts of natural disasters are already here, affecting our society, economy, and infrastructure. Is renewable energy the answer to natural disasters? Scientists agree that delaying the transition to renewable energy will result in more severe and frequent extreme weather events. However, it’s not too late.

Without considering climate change trends / impacts when planning our energy (built, natural, financial, health, …etc) systems we risk making decisions that lock us in to a high emission future…and fuel the division industry.

Grids are the arteries and veins of #electricity circulation. In my latest article, Swiss Re Institute explores how #climate risk due to extreme temperatures, floods, droughts, storms and sea level rise can impact all the components of electric grids at a time when electricity demand is rising sharply. Risk transfer and mitigation are important, but adaptation strategies are more crucial. Do give this a read and let us know what you think! #ClimateChange #ClimateRisk #NaturalCatastrophe #renewables Christoph Nabholz Jonathan Anchen Neil Aellen Michele Cibrario Miguel Senac Chandan Banerjee, Fabienne Dahinden Lucia Bevere Emma Black
