Report Highlights Climate Risks and Resilience Needs for India’s Renewable Energy Pipeline
A report by Zurich Insurance highlights that India's planned renewable energy assets, valued at $55 billion across 10 states, face significant risks from climate hazards such as floods and wildfires by 2030. Investing 2% of renewable project costs in climate resilience could reduce potential losses by half, saving an estimated $28 billion and offering a sixfold return. The findings emphasize the need for targeted resilience measures to protect India's expanding renewable energy infrastructure and support its clean energy goals.
