Futureproofing Connectivity: Climate Risk and Resilience in Telecommunications

As the frequency of extreme weather increases, so too does the damage to network equipment. By mid-century, the financial cost of climate change for operators is expected to increase by 80%. With connectivity underpinning economies, public services and the everyday life, building climate-resilient networks is a must.

‘Futureproofing Connectivity: Climate Risk and Resilience in Telecommunications’, a six-part research series identifies weather-related risks that telecommunications networks face, the associated financial impacts of these risks and what is needed to strengthen the resilience of networks in a changing climate.

By quantifying exposure to climate risk and showcasing best practices in network resilience, the research provides guidance for operators on climate-related planning, investments and reporting. Browse the research selection below.
