  • 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.
