Climate-related hazards, from flooding to forest fires, represent a growing threat to the world’s data centre infrastructure, a new report by climate risk analytics firm XDI has found.

The 2025 Global Data Centre Physical Climate Risk and Adaptation Report, which conducted a risk analysis of more than 8,600 data centres around the world, indicates that the impact from climate change on this vital infrastructure is intensifying.

‘As demand for data centre capacity accelerates, understanding these risks is essential for building resilience into the backbone of modern life,’ the report notes.
