France’s June 2026 heatwave was more than an extreme weather event, it became a systemic stress test for critical infrastructure. From electricity grid failures to agricultural losses, this report analyses how cascading climate impacts exposed vulnerabilities across interconnected systems. Drawing on documented evidence and real-world incidents, it highlights why adapting critical infrastructure has become an urgent strategic priority in a warming Europe.

The June 2026 heatwave was one of the most severe ever recorded across Western Europe. New temperature records were set in several regions, infrastructure was disrupted, and the event quickly sparked a familiar debate: had climate scientists underestimated how quickly extreme heat would intensify under global warming? This article compares extreme temperature projections from ClimateVision to measured temperature during the "canicule".

How will climate change affect future wind energy production? Using climate projections and turbine level modelling, Callendar assessed the evolution of energy yield at 50 of the world's largest wind farms. The results reveal a broad tendency toward declining production, with median losses of 2 to 4% by 2050 and larger impacts for some highly exposed sites. While climate change is unlikely to threaten the viability of wind energy as a whole, it may become a risk for individua

How will climate change affect future wind energy production? As wind projects increasingly rely on long term performance assumptions, understanding future wind resources has become a strategic challenge. This article reviews the main methodologies used to assess climate impacts on wind energy, from wind speed and wind power density to energy production models. It also highlights the limitations of current approaches and the remaining uncertainties facing the wind industry.

With the acceleration of global warming, climate risk assessment and adaptation consulting services are rapidly expanding. For businesses without in-house climatology expertise, evaluating the quality of these offerings can be challenging. In this article, we explore key indicators to help you select a reliable provider tailored to your needs.

Learn how climate change threatens digital infrastructure (data centers, networks, and cloud services) and what strategies companies can adopt to ensure their resilience and business continuity.

At CERAWeek 2026, the world’s premier energy conference, industry leaders confronted a paradox: record growth driven by AI, data centers, and geopolitical shifts, yet an undeniable urgency to address climate risks. Climate adaptation is no longer optional: extreme weather and chronic risks demand immediate action. With public climate data weakening under U.S. policy, companies turn to private tools, but face new challenges, such as transparency, auditability and operational

Wind energy is experiencing rapid growth and plays a key role in the global energy transition and GHG reduction. However, its production heavily depends on climate conditions, such as wind, temperature or pression and can evolve with global warming. Estimating wind power yield over 20 to 30 years thus requires integrating climate projections to anticipate changes in wind patterns, air density and associated risks. Wind yield projections can help secure investments and improve

Road networks are increasingly exposed to climate risks such as extreme heat, flooding and soil instability. From asphalt deformation to network disruptions, climate change is already affecting road infrastructure operations and safety. This article explores real world impacts, emerging vulnerabilities and the concrete adaptation strategies needed to build climate resilient roads.

Climate projections based on global warming levels are increasingly used to guide climate adaptation policies worldwide. Like the French Trajectoire de Référence pour l'Adaptation au Changement Climatique (TRACC), this approach links climate impacts directly to temperature thresholds, including the Paris Agreement targets. However, differing reference periods and methodologies create challenges for international consistency and a need for hamonization.

How can industrial facilities anticipate and reduce climate risks? Callendar and CNPP have joined forces to meet this challenge, generating detailed climate projections, turning them into a full vulnerability assessment and building tailored adaptation plans. This case study covering seven assets in Europe and the United States shows how this approach helps protect industrial infrastructure from climate change and strengthen long term resilience.
