Abstract

Projections of multiple climate risks to critical infrastructures are assessed. Impacts could rise up to 10 times present damages by 2100 due to global warming alone. Damages from heatwaves, droughts and coastal floods show the most dramatic rise. Economic losses could be highest for the industry, transport and energy sectors. Southern and south-eastern European countries will likely be most affected.
