The Biennial Report on Global Infrastructure Resilience: Capturing the Resilience Dividend released by Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI).
The Climate change may lead to an estimated global average annual loss (AAL) in infrastructure sectors and buildings of between $732 and $845 billion.
This means around 14 per cent of 2021- 2022 global gross domestic product is at risk.
About half of this contingent liability is held by low- and middle- income countries (LMIC).
The global AAL from disasters and climate change in just the principal infrastructure sectors is between $301 and $330 billion.
High-income countries account for approximately 67 per cent of the global infrastructure asset value.
Upper and lower middle-income countries account for 24.8 per cent and 7.0 per cent, respectively.
While low-income countries account for 0.6 per cent.
The climate change is expected to increase AAL by 11 per cent in high-income countries.
It may increase by 12-22 per cent in middle-income countries and 33 per cent in low-income countries.
