A report by DBS and the Climate Bonds Initiative highlights that annual costs from physical climate risks could reach $336 billion by the 2030s for companies operating in the Asia-Pacific region.
The region is warming at nearly twice the global average, leading to operational disruptions, declining asset values, and increased credit losses.

Impact & Risks

Businesses and financial institutions in Asia, including India, face significant risks such as operational disruptions and financial losses. In India, commercial real estate exposed to heat stress could see reduced productivity and higher maintenance costs. The lack of sufficient climate finance for adaptation exacerbates vulnerabilities, potentially leading to economic instability and reduced investor confidence in the region.
