67% of APAC data center sites already face moderate-to-high climate risk. Join Cushman & Wakefield and Jupiter to explore where data centers get built, and how they’re protected.

Climate risk disclosure and GRESB reporting are now standard practice across real estate. What reporting hasn’t done is tell owners and operators where to invest, what to prioritize, or which assets to defend.

In this session, Jupiter and Cushman & Wakefield take an asset-level view of APAC data centers, scored across eight climate hazards, and show how to move from compliance to decisions that drive location, capex, and resilience. The test case is data centers, where AI-driven expansion and water stress are converging on large assets that can’t move, in a market on track to top $950 billion by 2030.

Drawing on Cushman & Wakefield's climate risk work across Asia Pacific and Jupiter's global climate analytics, the discussion will cover:

• How leading investors and operators are using climate risk insights to inform location decisions, capex planning, and engagement with regulators and stakeholders

• Data centers as a high-growth, high-stakes test case — where rapid expansion, AI-driven demand, and water stress are converging on large, immobile assets

A first look: the session will preview key themes from Cushman & Wakefield's forthcoming APAC Data Center Climate Risk Report — what's coming next for one of the region's most critical asset classes.
