How should climate risk shape where you invest—and which assets you protect? Join Cushman & Wakefield and Jupiter to explore practical strategies for data centers and real estate portfolios worldwide, drawing on new APAC research.

Climate risk disclosure and GRESB reporting have helped real estate owners and operators understand their exposure. The next step is turning that insight into decisions: where to invest, what to prioritize, and how to strengthen resilience.

Data centers offer a timely example. AI-driven growth is increasing demands on power, cooling, and water, making resilience a critical consideration for site selection, operations, and future expansion.

In this session, Cushman & Wakefield and Jupiter will share findings from an analysis of more than 300 data center locations across 13 APAC countries, assessed across eight climate hazards. Across the sites assessed, 67% showed moderate to high climate risk exposure. The discussion will explore what these findings mean for data centers—and how the approach can inform real estate decisions across markets and asset classes.

Drawing on Cushman & Wakefield’s regional expertise and Jupiter’s global climate analytics, the discussion will cover:

• How climate risk insights can inform site selection, capital investment, and asset protection

• Why power resilience, cooling demands, and water availability matter to data center growth

• How owners and operators can move from reporting exposure to prioritizing action
