Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average. For industrial sites, the impacts are already tangible. Heatwaves, water stress, flooding, disruptions to logistics and supply chains: climate change is no longer a distant scenario for European industry, but a direct operational challenge. It is also a strategic issue. As supply chains become more exposed, dependencies on natural resources intensify, and critical infrastructure faces increasing pressure, climate adaptation is becoming a key lever for industrial resilience and European sovereignty. Sia sought to provide a clearer view of the risks facing European heavy industry: • 5 major sectors covered • 29 European industrial companies • 365 industrial sites analysed Our study assesses climate vulnerabilities, including both physical and transition risks, from an operational perspective. It also highlights the adaptation levers that industrial players can no longer afford to overlook. The full study is accessible via the link in the comments.
